Six nights, six different card games
Every night has its own line-up of games — here's what's usually running, though the calendar behind the counter always has the final word.
Doors, times and tables
the hall is closed, no tables tonight
euchre pairs run under house rules
five hundred fills two tables tonight
crib and canasta side by side
the calendar draw — every table is booked
bridge pairs early, friendly poker after midnight
a slower start with canasta and open tables
How the calendar shifts week to week
regulars settle back into their tables
a second bridge table if numbers ask for it
the calendar draw's busiest night
an easier finish before the new page goes up
