She created a website for her game where you can learn how to play, purchase a deck of cards, or contact Gentry for question, complaints, or comments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oldweb.taftcollege.edu\/tcwp\/cougaronline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_0726.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2533\" src=\"http:\/\/oldweb.taftcollege.edu\/tcwp\/cougaronline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_0726-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0726\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/oldweb.taftcollege.edu\/tcwp\/cougaronline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_0727.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2534\" src=\"http:\/\/oldweb.taftcollege.edu\/tcwp\/cougaronline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_0727-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0727\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.7plus11thegame.com\/\">http:\/\/www.7plus11thegame.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gentry said she is working on creating a contest for people to create their own how-to instructional video for the game that she will feature on the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ashley Renteria   Ever heard of the card game 7 plus 11?
