      I was stuck in the great blizzard in the 70’s in a college dorm of1000 guys. No electricity- no running water which meant no flushing toilets or showers. Lots of Euchre tho.

          That would have been nasty. We had a major electrical outage when I was in the dorms, but water was running. I was brought up playing Sheephead, but learned Euchre in college. Played a ton of Cribbage during my college days, too.

          Oh, and there was the ten guys playing the non-card game of Assassin during the power outage that I'm eternally grateful that the Statute of Limitations has expired on all the crimes we committed during that time.

            I played a ton of cribbage in college also, plus backgammon, we had a horseshoe pit and a great Wiffle ball field. Beer was required during all these games

              That sounds awesome. I love wiffle ball, croquet, horeshoes and card games. And beer.

                Our campus was a bit paranoid about drunken males throwing chunks of metal around, so no horseshoe pits on our campus. But beer...oh, yeah. I went to school at a place where a minibrew operation survived through the 70s and 80s. Only time I wouldn't drink beer during gaming time was if I was in a tournament. Then it was Mountain Dew, my version of the Juice of Sapho.

                  The horseshoe pit and wiffle ball field was off campus the 4 of us lived in a house just off campus. We also had the local dive bar next to us with a great shuffle board game in it. Friday night specials - shot of schnapps with a little king chaser for a buck. Winners stayed on and loser bought. Me and my roommate were pretty good so most Friday nights required the girlfriend to pick us up. Even tho we lived a block away- as she always reminded us

                    • I wasn't going to post in the political threads, but couldn't help myself. For the record I filled in three ballots for Joe Biden this year, so I can't be that bad.

                          I doubt that's even fraud in Illinois; well, at least Cook County.
