card games

[loki]

not including any child's games like go fish or war, what are the ones you know, favorites?

10 point pitch

euchre

spades

golf

pinochle

poker to an extent, but not fun if you're not playing for something, like money. chips can be fun. but when you have, even $5 in coins makes it fun, for the winner.

what kind of card games do you like?

[DetroitNut90]

Not a day in high school went by without playing spades at lunch. We'd play hearts on the bus, occasionally capitalism (president to some).

When my friends and I spend a week at my grandparents' during the summer, we play poker at night. It's just for chips and I'm terrible at it, but it's fun.

Bridge is a fun game that requires a lot of thinking, maybe that's why young people don't play it.

I don't doubt it's fun. But since it's been associated with old people for the longest time, the current members of my generation shy away from it.

Kinda like Buick before the Enclave, current LaCrosse, and 2011 Regal.
