Let's read books and complete tasks related to card games you know and love, and maybe a few that are new to you!

On the 1st and 15th of each month I will post a new card game in the Card Table Thread. You will have 4 tasks to choose from for each game. You only need to complete one. Participate in as many or as few games as you would like.

Competitive Option: If you would like to make this a competitive challenge, you will keep a running tally of your Page Points by adding up the page count for each book you complete for this challenge. Let's see who reads the most pages towards this challenge at the end of June and at the end of December! If you aren't interested in tallying your points, simply leave this information off of the Completion Post format. 😊

You will make your Completion Posts here IN YOUR OWN THREAD. Please use this format. {You are welcome to copy and paste the game tasks into your own thread if you would like.}
