Probably the most popular card game when i was a kid except IRL microstakes holdem lol. ^^ That game is so much fun! Here's some other games you can play with traditional cards: By far my favorite game to play with friends. Unfortunately it's only a four player game, but it's still tons of fun (I'm from the Midwest US by the way)! Organizing little tournaments can be pretty fun, since you always play on a two man team: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euchre (There's a variation called "Double Deck Euchre, too" There's another favorite of mine what I called Chinese Poker, but my google search has come up with another game, maybe someone can help me. Basically you deal out all the cards to however many people you have (you can play with 2 decks if there's a lot of people). The person with the 3 of clubs leads by putting down one or multiple cards that the next player has to "beat." For example if he puts down a 3, the next player has to put down a 4 or higher (2s are higher than aces btw). The next person in line then has to put down a card higher than that, and so on and so forth going around clockwise in the circle of players. If nobody can beat the card, or nobody WANTS to beat the card, the person with the "winning" card gets to lead the next round. (so if a 2, the highest card in the game for some reason, is played, it's automatically starts a new round with the person who played the two leading). There's a trick however! I mentioned that one could play multiple cards instead of just one (this is where the poker part comes in). I have the option of playing doubles, triples, straights (of three or more), two pairs, two triplets, ect. (no full houses or flushes though) as well. If I play two 5s, the next person will have to play a double that is higher than fives (two 9s or something like that), and that pattern continues around the circle until no one can or want's to play over it (you can always pass, btw). If I play a 5, 6, 7 and 8 as a straight, then the next person has to play a higher straight. (7,8,9,10 would do the trick, or 10, J, Q, K). BUT I cannot beat a 4 card straight with a 5 card straight, nor can I beat a double with a triple. It ALWAYS has to match the pattern of the card that was led (this is why being able to lead is really important. If you have a really great straight, you won't be able to play it until you manage to get the lead). Once you get rid of all of your cards you win! (you can also set rules so that the loser of the previous round has to give up his or her cards to the winner in the next round, and the winner trades them for his/her worst cards. It makes things a little more entertaining) Have only three players and can't come up with any good 3 player games? Try this one! It's a little complicated, but veteran card players should pick it up pretty quick: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinochle (I play 3 handed pinochle most of the time, scroll down a bit, you'll see it) Euchre too boring? Too easy? Doppelkopf is a game I picked up in Germany that's kind of like a mix between Euchre and Pinochle, but has a bunch of other crazy rules (a lot of them optional) Might be kind of overwhelming if you don't play cards that much: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppelkopf Those are my favorites, but I have a bunch more, There's a game called "King Mau" or "Mau Mau" but I'm not allowed to talk about the rules Another one that I remember being really fun was some Russian one also played with a standard deck. (The title was pronounced "Daka" or "Dacha" or something like that, and I was told it meant "Idiot.") If someone could help me out with, that'd be great, because it was a fantastic game. EDIT: Maybe it was "Durak"? Other than that, i enjoy "Rummy", "Speed", and "BS". "Crazy eights" is great for little kids, too, it's kinda like Uno, except you don't have to pay for fancy cards. There's also Double Solitare, played like normal Solitare, except with two people sharing the middle piles. Whoever has the most in the middle wins. If you're a little inexperienced, beginners find "Go Fish", or "Memory" quite enjoyable If you have a toddler, 52 card pick up will be the only thing you will be playing. | ||

How the hell does one play bridge? There's a daily bridge column next to the comics in the newspaper i read, and it sounds incredibly complicated. Is it just because of the jargon? | ||

EDIT: LOL, I blame my tiny mouse's wheel button... Sorry, must've overscrolled. Anyways, there's still the asian version of Hearts where you can shoot the moon in many ways: collecting all hearts only, all hearts + Q of spades/J of diamonds, or all hearts + both Q and J. Also 10 of clubs is -50 if you have no points, but doubles the value if you do. | ||

I guess you could play this game with money. instead of drinking, donating money to the pot and then have jokers in the deck and pick up the money when you pull one. | ||

You have to be good at lying, or have some kind of amazing deck to win at that game. I used to play that at lunch all the time throughout my middle school years. We called it bullshit and you deal out the entire deck and then the cards play in sequence. You take the entire deck if you're lying and get caught, and if they're wrong they take it instead. My family also played a lot of Canasta awhile back. Whenever we'd visit my dad's parents and grandparents there would be a massive canasta game or two with the entire family. You can google the rules if you're interested, but it revolves around two standard 54 card decks and then getting a "canasta" of cards by getting 7 of them. 2s and jokers are wild and pure canastas are worth more than ones with wilds. Once somebody discards their entire hand the hand is over and score is taken based on what was played onto the table and subtracted based on what is still in everyone's hand. You cannot discard out until you have one or two canastas on the table though, so there are some mind games where you can quickly drop a canasta and go out immediately to catch your fellow players with a bunch of cards in their hand still. It's kinda complicated to pick up, but I used to play on Yahoo awhile back ^_^ Maybe I should play some more. You can play with 2-x players with teams of however many you like although 4 or 6 players with teams of two seems like the best methods. You might want to a third deck if you're playing with 6 or more players though.
