42 Domino Lessons (A 2-session Class) Wimberley Village Library, 400 FM 2325Thursdays, February 21 & 281pm – 3:30pmEasy to learn and easy to play while visiting, “42” is a trick tak-ing dominos game, with four players in fixed partnerships. “42” was invented in 1887 in Trappe Springs (now Garner), Texas, by 12-year-old William Thomas and 14-year-old Walter Earl, two fundamentalist Baptists who were caught playing Auction Whist with playing cards and were punished for it by their parents. Fun-damentalist Baptists regarded playing cards as the “Devil’s Picture Book” and did not allow card games but had no such restrictions on domino games. After these 2 fun afternoons of learning and practicing, no doubt you’ll want to keep playing this popular Wimberley game every chance you get! Refreshments will be served.
