In
the card game 'phase 10' noah's ark occurs when a player is
dealt an unusually, and typically unhelpfully large number of pairs. Especially useless when in phases
4-6, attempting to get a string of consecutive numbers instead of sets of the same numbers.
I am
dealt two 1's, two 4's, two
8's, two
10's, an 11 and a 12, so i bitch thusly: "damnit, noah's ark again!"
