I was thinking of all the Todd-like double entrendres when I used the Pile word, but couldn't make myself use another, it was so deeply entrenched! <BR/><BR/>I think I also have some lurking fear that if I change a word, I might not play so well, which is possibly true as it would make me have to multitask even more. <BR/><BR/>I like the idea of not keeping score too.Carlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686469871331093679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-63387478187708138522008-01-29T22:06:00.000+00:002008-01-29T22:06:00.000+00:00Racing Demon is my name alsoIt's not "the pile", i...Racing Demon is my name also<BR/><BR/>It's not "the pile", it's "the demon"<BR/><BR/>We never kept score, just had the handicapping system, so someone really rubbish can have the satisfaction of winning a hand without being aware that they are 1000 points down.<BR/><BR/>and yes, best played with at least 10 people. I have wonderful memories of two or three mothers with demons of about 26 and all the children with smaller and smaller demons.

Perhaps it looks so complicated to start of with which is a shame as it is really worth putting in that initial effort.<BR/><BR/>Am very much hoping to persuade other HEors who are planning on going to a camp in the nearish future, to learn before we go so we can play there. <BR/><BR/>I once did manage to teach some young teen friends the game whilst on a long weekend away. They proceded to play it solidly for four days, by which time I had had just about had my fill of it for that week at least!Carlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686469871331093679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-88027424938974256662008-01-29T13:58:00.000+00:002008-01-29T13:58:00.000+00:00I love this game.

When I learnt it we called it Nurtz (which I suppose is the same as Nerts although I never saw it written down and I think my spelling is prettier). Think we learnt it from a Canadian so perhaps Nurtz is the american/canadian name?<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately most people outside of my immediate family refuse to play with me!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613789458517584661noreply@blogger.com
