History
Norman grew up on a farm in rural Iowa, where he learnt his love of playing cards. He remembers fondly of the times he would play to late in the evening with his family. Now, much older, and with grandchildren of his own, he enjoys teaching them how to play. He is a kind, gentle man, with a loud warm laugh. He's quick to pick up a game, and excels at any he tries to play. He is truly a jack-of-all-trades.
Game Propensities
Trick-taking games:
- Euchre: novice, this is a new game to him having had some of his grandchildren teach him the game just recently.
- Hearts: professional, this is one of his favourite games. He'll spend hours playing this game with his grandchildren.
- Spades: novice, though around when Spades was just beginning to be formed, he never took much interest in it which continues to this day.
- The rest, newb.
Rummy-style games:
- Cribbage: amateur, this is a game that he adores. He doesn't play it often, so it's not his strongest game.
- The rest, newb.
Gambling games:
Shedding games:
- Crazy Eights: Apprentice.
- Old Maid: master, though really everyone is a master at Old Maid.
- The rest, newb.
