Poker (and other games) in Medford

This is an open event -- all card and board games are welcome tonight!

In December, we had our first poker games event, and the turnout was absolutely amazing. Everyone had a lot of fun, so we're going to do it again...

Like last time, here are the games we'll be playing...


  • Texas Hold'em is called the 'Cadillac of poker'. It's the most popular version of poker played in casinos today. The objective is to make the best five-card hand using any combination from the person's two-card hand and the five community cards.
  • Big Two (or Chuo Dai Di) is sometimes called a 'Chinese Poker' due to its use of poker hands, but has its own play style. Although it is popular in Asia, it is beginning to become popular in the United States. Four players are dealt 13 cards each, then take turns playing their cards by making poker hands out of them. Whoever plays all their cards first wins!

Please indicate in your RSVP if you have a game preference. If you have poker chips, please bring them. See you on the 26th!

--

This location is easily accessible from Rt. 16, Rt. 28 and Rt. 93, and is walking distance from the Wellington Orange Line subway stop, near the new Station Landing apartment complex. There is free parking in the garage underneath the restaurant, and free parking all around the building.

If you are driving, be aware that Station Landing is at the intersection of Rt. 16 and Rt. 28, and you can enter the Station Landing complex from the north-bound side of Rt. 28, or the east-bound side of Rt. 16. It is across the street from Kappy's. There are a number of stores in the Station Landing complex -- look for Starbucks or Qdoba. Not Your Average Joe's is right next to these shops.

So don't just sit at home -- come join the fun!

    As we don't play for money, the only thing of value at the table is your pride :)
