acropolis Card Games

Date: 2024-12-16
AO: acropolis
Q: Pumpernickel
PAX: Sunny, Hightower, Atlas, Doodles
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
5 strong for a surprisingly warm and clear mid-December morning.
WARMUP: SSH, Various Stretches, fellowship mosey over to the magical land of benches and ledges by the front of the school.
THE THANG: We used the F3 deck of cards to play a modified version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucumber_(card_game). Each pax was dealt a hand of 6 cards. We played 5 rounds in the following fashion: 1. First person plays any card from their hand
2. Next person has to play a card of equal or higher number (suit doesn’t matter)
3. If you can’t equal or beat the number, you must play the lowest card in your hand
4. The person who played the highest card gives the cadence and number of exercises for every exercise in the pile. 5. Start over, the person who just led the exercises plays the first card.
We played through 25 cards from the deck in that way with various merkins, squats, core exercises, and a little bit of sprinting around the courtyard.
MARY: Core exercises were throughout, but to close it out, the last card in your hand doesn’t get played, but becomes the number of burpees you must do. That’s why you don’t want to have to play your lowest card. Fellowship jog back to the parking lot for COT
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas and New Year’s coming up, Wreath clean up (someone post details here if you remember)
COT: YHC shared his favorite proverb that spoke to him in the past, Proverbs 6:6. “Go to the ant, you sluggard, learn its ways, and become wise.” As a lazy person I found a lot of benefit from studying the ant.
1. Ants are always moving. Physical movement isn’t just good for your body, it helps improve your character.
2. Ants are never going by themselves but always following another ant and leading another ant behind them.
3. Ants are small and humble creatures. Don’t think a task is too small for you to do, but just do the work that’s in front of you even if it’s humble and lowly.
