Playing spoons with my friends and fellow expedition team members in the wilds of Western Mongolia. Spoons in case you don't know is like musical chairs played with cards with spoons substituting for the chairs. Cards are passed until someone gets 4 of a kind then they pick up a spoon - once one person picks up a spoon it signals everyone else to grab one as well. Like musical chairs there is one less spoon than people playing so its a fury of action and fun! A first for many of my Mongolia friends which only added to the fun!

With almost 4000 rooms and thirteen restaurants, Caesar's Palace, is one of the largest resort complexes in the world; a fun land for adults to eat, drink and be merr-y (-ily relieved of their money).
The picture shows a 20 foot (6.1m) tall Caesar Augustus at the entrance to his palace, with one of his towers of rooms behind him.
Playing Tarot card game at family gatherings has been a tradition in my family for decades.
When 3 to 5 players play with a deck of 78 large cards, you end up with a lot of cards to hold in your hand, which can be destabilizing for beginners, let alone the rules and the way points are counted.
The situation depicted is a very good one, where the player in the foreground is about to snatch an opponent's King by playing his very coveted "1" of Atout...
When I was a kid, my cousins and I used to play a card game called Crazy Eights. We played many variations of it but our favourite one we called "Pirate Crazy Eights". The main changes to it were that we talked like pirates (Arrrrr matey) and played for money (pieces of eight of course!)
“Well, what shall we play now, gentleman? Happy Families?” – Mr. Yates the cardsharp in the Titanic’s smoking room from the 1958 film “A Night to Remember”, based on Walter Lord’s 1955 non-fiction book of the same title.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" the 29th of August is "game pieces", which was proposed by me. I recently acquired a wonderful pack of "Black Peter" printed by Ferdinand Piatnik & Sons in Vienna in the early 1950s. I have been wanting to use them for a photograph, and they seemed perfect for the theme this week. I have also included some ivory faced dominoes from the Eighteenth Century or very early Nineteenth Century, some Eighteenth Century carved ivory dice, pieces from my Grandfather’s Draughts set which I inherited from him when he died, some ebony and rosewood French wooden game chips from the early Nineteenth Century which are housed in their original carved rosewood "Puce" (French for "chip") box at the bottom of the image and some Bakelite chips from several 1920s games of mine in my collection. All the pieces are displayed on my Grandfather’s handmade marquetry chessboard. I hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
"Black Peter" is a European version of the game "Old maid", Known as "Schwarzer Peter" in German, it was one of the most popular children's card games for generations, reaching its zenith in the 1950s and 60s. The idea of the game is to draw cards and make pairs. This deck has images of birds, bears, rabbits, elephants, frogs, dogs and many more animals besides. Each card identifies its pair by a symbol appearing in the top left-hand corner. However, if you have Black Peter (in this case a grumpy and naughty black cat) in your hand at the end of the game, you have unfortunately had bad luck and lose. This pack, illustrated by Willy Mayrl is still being produced today.
Wiener Spielkartenfabrik Ferd. Piatnik & Söhne, commonly referred to as Piatnik, is an Austrian playing card and board game manufacturing company based in Vienna. The company was founded in 1824 by the card manufacturer Anton Moser (1784–1842) in Vienna's 7th district. Upon his death, his professional colleague the Hungarian-born Ferdinand Piatnik (1819–1885) took over in 1843, marrying Moser's widow a few years later. Piatnik's three sons joined the ranks in 1882 adding their names to their father's company name. Piatnik continued to expand and in 1899 bought the playing card manufacturer, Ritter & Cie in Prague. As early as 1923 Piatnik received an 'irrevocable' national award and thus the right to use the Austrian coat of arms in its business in perpetuity. In 1939, the Viennese parent company was incorporated into the family limited partnership Wiener Spielkartenfabrik Ferd. Piatnik & Sons. After the war, multi-colour offset printing was introduced in 1951. In 1956, the playing card factory expanded its range to include board games, and puzzles have also been produced since 1966. Piatnik Wien has since established itself as a major business, having sold twenty-five million packs of cards (including Tarot, Tarock, Bridge, Préférence, Schnapsen, Double German and French packs), one million puzzles and one million board games (such as Activity, Tick Tack Bumm, Abalone, Pass the Pigs and Scrabble) in over seventy two countries. The firm offers more than two hundred social and family games and one thousand play card pack variants.
These rather worn French dominoes that has come into my possession have earned each and every chip, dint and scratch they have, as they were made by hand in the late Eighteenth or very early Nineteenth Century. The black base layer is made of ebonised wood, whilst the top, white pieces, are ivory - now yellowed with age - with the circular grooves inked in black paint. The two layers are affixed together with a silver rivet in the centre of each piece.
The draughts set is a British set belonging to my Grandfather, who bought them from Hamley’s Toy Shop in Regent Street in London in 1933. He and I used this set many times to play draughts on his hand made chessboard.
The chessboard was made by my Grandfather, a skilful and creative man, in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died.
This weeks theme is game, so for a macro shot on Monday, it is 1 inch by 1 inch square of the infamous One Eyed Jack for card games. 7DOS FUN AND GAMES MACRO MONDAY

THANKS FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES!
Kanyakumari (Inde) - Ces pêcheurs sont en grève et tentent de passer le temps. Le mouvement social a été déclenché le jour de mon arrivée à Kanyakumari. Deux jours auparavant, un violent cyclone avait traversé le Sud du Kerala et une partie du Tamil Nadu à la verticale du Cap Comorin.
Au moment où je prends cette photo, plus de 200 pêcheurs sont portés disparus. Devant l'inertie des autorités, les professionnels de la mer ont d'arrêté le travail pour que les recherches s'intensifient.
On ne retrouvera que les corps sans vie d'une vingtaine de marins.
Kanyakumari (India) - These fishermen are on strike and are trying to pass the time. The social movement was started the day I arrived in Kanyakumari. Two days earlier a violent cyclone had crossed southern Kerala and part of Tamil Nadu above Cape Comorin.
As I take this photo, over 200 fishermen are missing. Faced with the inertia of the authorities, the professionals of the sea decided to go on strike so that the research could intensify.
Only the lifeless bodies of about twenty sailors will be found.
This Poker hand is still considered to be unlucky by some, although the possibility of being shot in the back while playing Poker is somewhat less now than it was in Hickok's day.I think I'll fold all the same.

18/52 For The 52 Week Challenge - Photograph your feelings in a state of boredom.
I will try to catch up with commenting very soon.
This has been a difficult one to photograph as there aren't enough hours in the day so how can I possibly get bored! So my son and his girlfriend asked if we would like to play this card game with them. I struggled to grasp it so was finding it a little uninteresting...hence the photo, I wanted to take more but they wouldn't let me as they wanted to get on with the game. Shortly after I took this photo I fell asleep so I guess I must have been pretty bored.
I will try to catch up with commenting very soon.
On my last visit to my hometown Schuders in the Swiss Alps I went to the Berggasthof Alte Post, the only restaurant in town. People visiting the village were playing Jass (pronounced ˈjas), the Swiss national card game. Many people in the Swiss German speaking part play this game. The game is so widespread that it is regularly featured on radio and television, such as the weekly TV programs of Donnschtig Jass ("Thursday Jass") and Samschtig Jass ("Saturday Jass") on the Swiss national TV. Card games never attracted me personally, I don't even know the rules.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
