42 - Fifteen Years of Reflection
(42 is a four-player card game with bidding and trumps, played with domino tiles)

I launched my first 42 web page in February 1997, more than 15 years ago (story). Since then, after URL changes, server upgrades and numerous document additions, Texas42.net emerged as my flagship web site. In my view, it has most of the features needed for learning about the game.

The site is non-commercial and is not advertised. It's here for folks who want to learn (or are curious about) the game and related information. Word-of-mouth, Google, and links at other web sites bring most of the traffic to my 42 site.

Most players learned about or learned how to play 42 from family members, and most players reside in or are former residents of Texas (polls). The game is a Texas tradition, and the Texas legislature recently designated it as the State Domino Game of Texas. This action will certainly broaden interest in the game and bring more visitors to my site.

Participation in dialogs with other 42 players indicate many have religous backgrounds and openly have conservative leanings. They love the game and enjoy the fellowship of other players. Social players and tournament players alike are a special breed of people.

I've pretty much run out of things to add to this site, and I now spend time mostly maintaining existing documents to keep them current, e.g., removing dead links and posting new information from other 42 players.

I'm open to suggestions for any new documents. (I'm fresh out of ideas.)
