This leads to people taking risks to be able to wait to play a harder phase, and sometimes being screwed by someone going all the way out immediately.

We kept a bucket of pennies just for rum oil.(spell check doesn’t believe in rummoli)
When I was a kid huge canasta games were a Christmas tradition.
With the grandkids now we play Uno.

Skip-bo
Phase 10
Hearts
Canasta

Classic jailhouse card game, even goofs and skinpooch's play it

[ForeverFlameFan]

There's also Cover Your Assets

And Uno obviously.

Skip-bo! Wow, I haven't played that on years and years.

Lots of people mentioning house rules. What are some popular house rules for card games you all play?

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

In terms of multiplayer card games, I'm partial to Coup (although I guess that's barely a card game). In terms of 1 on 1, star realms - but actually it's better if you get the app for that, since it does the shuffling for you, unless you just like the feel of cards.

That game is fun but damn frustrating.

[kermitology]

My personal favourite game to play at the pub or something like that is Dutch Blitz. I have the regular and expansion packs. I like that you can play with either or both of them.

I know it's frustrating, but man it's great when you finally win and nobody had "Neigh's" to stop you.

I just bought Game Night for my family of five. Comes with 5 decks. Never played before but it should be fun to learn.

Is it different from exploding kittens. I couldn’t tell from the box

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Our favorite game with 4 people is Cross Cribb or we call it Saskatchewan crib for some reason. No board, one team of two is trying to make hands going one direction, the other team tries to make hands going perpendicular, 5 rows of 5 cards, take turns playing one card at a time face up, try to make big hands for your team while trying to screw up the other teams hands. It’s very addicting if you like crib.

Canasta is an old favorite. Wizard is a great game too, can usually find packs of card for that game at Walmart.

Very different. This is a very good game to play with 3-5 people, but is doable with 2 as well.
