BLAST Hearts Tournament & Potluck (North Palm Beach)

You’re playing for a little trophy and bragging rights!
1TIME … Potluck starting at noon. Tournament play begins at 6pm or maybe sooner (whenever everyone is ready).

***

COST & WHAT TO BRING … Free to attend. Bring whatever you want to drink and potluck food to share. Plan to take home your leftovers. (OPTIONAL: $5 cash gambling opportunity — tournament winner gets the pot in addition to the trophy — completely voluntary to contribute.)

***

ABOUT HEARTS … It's a simple card game. Four players per table. Each woman is playing for her own individual score. Your goal is to take the fewest points possible. Each heart is worth 1 point, and the queen of spades is worth 13. If you manage to take all 26 points in a round, this is called "shooting the moon," and you get to subtract 26 points from your total instead, or ::: evil chuckle ::: add 26 points to everyone else's score.

***

PETS … Cheryl has two gorgeous Siberian cats.

***

COVID SAFETY … Fully vaccinated contestants only, please. This home has an air filter with medical-grade HEPA filter.
