And the majestic bowsprit, six metres (20ft) long, still points straight out from the bow as it did when the crew tried to navigate through treacherous ice that eventually trapped Erebus and Terror on 12 September 1846. Okay, there’s a few of them here. So bare with me on this whirlwind tour. Oh Cloudberry, obsession is they name! I’ve wanted to try fresh versions of this berry for the years since I’ve heard of it. This tart berry grows in only very small quantities in its native range. Though hard to find, it has been used in many northern peoples’ food cultures. Many native northerners made spirits from them, but its most commonly found in jellies and jams. Also known as the “Bakeapple.” The game begins and ends with Ace wild. Aces used in a run can be either low cards (A-2-3) or high cards (Q-K-A) but not both at once (K-A-2 of a suit is not a valid run). Combine all ingredients into a shaker, dry shake then add ice and wet shake. Strain into a glass and serve. Ungava Gin

A player who has already laid down a set or run may take a wild card from the table if they hold the real card that it represents. This can only be done in stage 2 of their turn after drawing. The wild card that is taken can be used as the player wishes - it can be put down as part of the same or another meld, or they may risk keeping it in their hand for later use. For example if in the second deal (Twos wild) there is a run 7- 2- 9 on the table, a player holding 5 and 8 could - provided that they had already laid down a set or run of their own, replace the 2 by the real 8 and move the 2 to represent the 6 so that the 5 could be added, making 5- 2- 7- 8- 9. Since a wild card in a set can represent any missing suit, in the second deal the wild Two in the set K- K- 2 can be claimed in exchange for either the K or the K.

Now that mystery seems to have been solved by a combination of intrepid exploration – and an improbable tip from an Inuk crewmember. Every player pays to or receives from every other player according to the difference between their scores.

When a player goes out, each player scores plus the value of melded cards in front of them minus the value of cards remaining in their hand. Wild cards score 25 points, Aces 15, pictures 10 and number cards 2 to 10 face value. The player with the highest score at the end of 14 hands is the winner. Ungava Spirits Co. is one of the Canadian leaders in crafting premium-quality spirits. Nestled in Cowansville, Quebec, in the beautiful Eastern Townships regions, they craft their spirits in small batches using nothing but the highest quality natural and local ingredients. The Ungava Gin is one of those spirits that is crafted to perfection. Since, then, the discovery team has spent more than a week quietly gathering images of the vessel and comparing them with the Terror’s 19th century builders’ plans, which match key elements of the sunken vessel. The same stories described startled Inuit stumbling upon a large dead man in a dark room on the vessel, with a big smile. Experts have suggested that may have been a rictus smile, or evidence that the man had suffered from scurvy. Note: In the first turn, the starting player must choose to either draw the face up card in the board or pass the turn. If the card is drawn, proceed normally. If the turn is passed, the other player gets to make the same choice. If they pass too, the first player takes their turn normally.In our next stop on the world tour, we pull up to the snowy North American shores for a look at Canadian gin. I first mixed it with some 1724 tonic. The beverage has a lovely golden tone to it. The tonic really emphasizes the bitter notes of the Ungava. It tastes exceptionally dry. In an odd way this combination makes for a Gin and Tonic that might be to the liking of those who are fans of more bitter drinks. There’s a touch of sweetness, but this is certainly not the Gin and Tonic you’re used to drinking like a sugary sweet soda. Very interesting the way certain notes come out here. Nice. Meld: A word for both Sets and Runs. You might for example have three melds, where two of them are sets and one is a run. Each card can only be part of one set or run, for example if you have an 8 you cannot count it both as part of 8,8,8 and 7,8,9. Scoring is based on deadwood and bonuses, the actual melds don't actually count for anything, they're only good to minimize your deadwood. I mixed it up in a Negroni, and you get a nice bit of juniper and bitterness here, but the finish is slightly different than expected: a bit of tart berry and floral notes come out at the end. Quite surprising as I found those notes to be very understate neat, but quite interesting that a complex drink like the Negroni would bring them out.

Rugged explorer types weren’t the only ones to appreciate the spirit, however. By the turn of the century Canada nurtured a thriving drinks culture. Though it enacted a brief period of national prohibition from 1918-1920, Canada also took on new importance as a spirits manufacturer during United States Prohibition and became an essential source of alcohol, and the Detroit River, which bridges the two countries, was a notorious avenue for bootleggers. Despite the color, don’t come to Empress 1908 Gin expecting something floral or violet-flavored. This is a mixing gin with a strong emphasis on showmanship.

A cumulative score is kept for each player. A player who goes out scores no points and the others score penalty points for the cards remaining in their hands. or C6 C7 C8 C9 C10. Aces are always low, never high, and runs can't wrap around, so Q,K,A,2 would not be a legal run.
