I used to play it with my mother when she was in a nursing home. Now I play it with my grandchildren (no doubt they're wishing to play it with me in a nursing home) usually in the evenings when we're on a skiing holiday.
Love the Wiki link, Michael. I started working on something similar last skiing trip. I think I'll copy out some of the results, and convince the kids this year that I've worked them all out myself.

Yeah I don't understand that, and don't do it. Triple is cool though and brings tons more tactics to scoring.

I feel like Katy Perry when she sang "I read some maths and I liked it".
