I use to play a lot of Tonk back in highschool. It's like ghetto rummy.

Those are played with cards? This whole time I thought those were just games that Thorn and I played when the kids went to bed.

Obviously if you knew more card games you wouldn't have so many kids.

Cribbage is for rounders.

One of the best card games I've played is called mile bornes. You have to buy the special deck for it.

That game is great. All about racing.

My family started playing it when we lived in Germany. We had found it in France on a trip and then about 10 years later it made it out main stream.

cribbage
auction 45's
euchre
clegg (aka screw your neighbour, oh shit)
asshole (but i'd need a refresher)
go fish
crazy 8's
insane 8's (with pairs and runs and multiplying pickups)
rummy
pinochle (i only played once though, so a refresher would be needed)
war
hearts
solitaire
4 aces up

I think clegg is my favourite because you can have any number of players, you can vary the length of a game, and you can play with simple or complicated strategy which makes it a game for all ages. nothing will get the nicest people cursing each other out quite like a game of clegg.

 

[Jonny_B]

hmmm, apparently screw your neighbour is a different game.

here are the rules to clegg: http://www.pagat.com/exact/ohhell.html

you up for a game of 52 pickup?

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

you up for a game of 52 pickup?

Only if I get to deal

 

[water]

I prefer to play 53 pick up.

That's where someone throws cards at me, I shoot them, and then the cops pick up all the cards plus the body.

 

[thrawn]

i don't play cards

 

[thrawn]

Well someone already mentioned pinochle. There is also canastas, rook, gin, black jack, baccarat...

51 pickup is fun too.

four dozen donuts, one bottle of whisky and two hookers.
