The results of the games of his favorite game are compiled in a small notebook, which is well filled.
We have nine cards, I play with a partner and when we win we are proud
she said.
After the new year, Florine Cormier planned to take a vacation until her birthday, but passion got the better of her.
We have already played 15 games

The game of “200” is widespread in homes in New Brunswick. It is played between two teams of two people. The first team to accumulate 200 points loses.
The Cormier family meets several times a week to play this game with their eldest.
It brings us closer, it makes us laugh
said his daughter, Anise Cormier.
She’s pretty funny
adds his granddaughter, Suzie Allain.
Florine Cormier has been a big fan of the “200” for decades and has even won several trophies from the time she competed at the Club 50 D’Âge D’Or de Cocagne.
I was playing with another woman, we played so many games and in the end, it was the rest of us who won
she remembers.
A goal of at least 2000 games in 2025
The Cormier family gathered in Cocagne on Sunday to celebrate Florine’s 102nd birthday, where the cards were quickly taken out of their pack.
