Six Tables on the Workshop Floor
What you’ll find at the tables: five hundred, euchre, rummy, canasta, crib and a friendly poker table with no buy-in.
What’s Playing Tonight
Five hundred takes up the two largest tables most evenings, run at a steady pace by the house dealer from around six until close.
Euchre and crib share the smaller tables nearer the old tool cabinet, usually with a mix of regulars and first-time guests learning the rules as they go.
A friendly poker table with no buy-in tends to start once the dinner crowd thins out, usually somewhere around eight thirty.

How a Seat Works
Do I need to know the rules already?
Not at all — the house dealer is happy to talk anyone through five hundred or euchre before a hand starts.
Can I choose which table I sit at?
Where there’s room, yes; the house dealer will point you to a table suited to what you’d like to play.
Are chips worth anything outside the room?
No — chips at Paperbark House count points only, and they stay on the workshop floor where they’re handed out.
