Default Let's talk about: Card Games

Looks like we are all going to be inside for a spell, and while many of us will have no problem sitting still watching TV for the next few weeks, there will be some, especially with kids, who will get antsy.

So let's hear what kinda of card games you all play.

For me, if playing with kids, the big ones are Old Maid, Crazy 8s and Concentration

If there's 4, speaking as a true Saskatchewanian, the only answer is Kaiser. There are many minor rule variations and I've played them all and they're all fun.

Card games are sweet, and without doubt the one thing I miss most about having friends. Used to spend all day drinking and smoking, playing euchre or crib without a care in the world.

I love cards.

Fun Basic simple games, with teens or adults
A$$shole, various house rule variations
Scr*w your neighbor
Hearts
Crib
Rumoli, if you still have pennies


"Card player" games, ones that require more thinking
Smear
Eukre
Crib, again

"Advanced" card games
Bridge
Pinochle, my favorite

I also enjoy poker games, going way beyond Texas Holdem, ones that my grandpa/ dad played use to play back in the day
Screwy Louie
Night Baseball
Fiery Cross
Low Chicago, killer queen
727

Oh hells yeah, but we use those crappy green/red clear bingo chips. That was our go to game at Christmas for the family.

Full disclosure, I keep a deck of cards and a dozen dice in every vehicle for emergencies. I freaking love cards.

Oh if you have kids, King's Corner (aka King on the Corner) or Clock Solitaire is good too.

Euchre is the best!

Also like “9’s”, but seems rare to have 3 people around.

15-20 min? We play like a best of 21 and kill half a day during non-quarantines.

A quick three round game takes 15-20 minutes.

21 rounds sound fun.
