Paying Back In Spades

by Alxala

I decided to check out another different old card game, and that is Spades. The objective is to take the number of tricks that were bid before play of the hand began, and the spade suit is always trump instead of the trump being decided by the highest bidder or at random.

The scoreboard will show up when the game is over and the winner is decided.

In this case, I won the game with Batman as my partner.

Also, the review game will pop up after the game ended. This keeps tracks of deals and tricks won and/or opened by one of the four players.

This old card game is amazing, and what I like about this game is there are certain features added in this game such as Jokers and playing Solo against all three opponents.

Playing Some Portal Of The Reloaded Variety

by Alxala

Last night I checked out Portal Reloaded, a 2021 mod for Portal 2. This mod allows the player to shoot a third “time portal”, which enables traveling between two different timelines while solving puzzles in 25 test chambers. So far, I have managed to complete half of the test chambers and got to test chamber 13. Yippee!

I got to admit, this is a really fun Portal 2 mod and I’m satisfied with that.

Current Gaming Mood: Gin Rummy

by Alxala

I decided to check out the Gin Rummy card game made by MeggieSoft Games. Here’s what the gameplay looks like:

In order to knock in this game, you need 10 deadwood points or less after melding your cards in runs and/or ranks. The computer player will meld their cards and with some deadwood points left in their hand. You’ll get a Gin bonus if you get no deadwood points in your hand like this:

I also got 22 deadwood points from the computer player’s hand.

After the end of the round, the scores will show up and be given to either you or the computer for winning the round. If you reach 100 points before the computer does, you win the game!

That’s another card game added to my list of games that I really love to play. This game also lets you select kinds of sound effects, MIDI music, and it has a Speak-to-Me feature for the computer player which is cool. I rate this game 10 stars out of 10, baby!
