Most people are familiar with the classic card game poker, but there are many other card games to explore. Whether you're looking to spice up your game night or just want to try something new, here are some card games to consider:
Uno
Uno is a classic card game that is easy to learn and fun to play. The game is played with a deck of cards that are numbered from 0 to 9 in four different colors. The objective of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards by matching them to the card on the top of the discard pile.
Go Fish
Go Fish is a popular card game for children and adults alike. The game is played with a standard deck of cards and the objective is to collect sets of four cards of the same rank. Players ask each other for cards and if the player being asked has the card, they must give it to the player who asked. If they don't have the card, the player who asked must "go fish" and draw a card from the deck.
Rummy
Rummy is a classic card game that has been around for over a century. The game is played with a standard deck of cards and the objective is to form sets and runs of cards. A set is three or more cards of the same rank, and a run is three or more cards of the same suit in sequential order. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins.
Spades
Spades is a strategic card game that is played with a standard deck of cards. The game is played in teams of two, and the objective is to win the most tricks. Each player is dealt a hand of cards, and they must bid on how many tricks they think they can win. The team that wins the most tricks at the end of the game wins.
Hearts
Hearts is a classic trick-taking card game that is played with a standard deck of cards. The objective of the game is to have the lowest score at the end of the game. Players must avoid taking cards with hearts on them and the queen of spades. The player with the lowest score at the end of the game wins.
War
War is a simple card game that is perfect for young children. The game is played with a standard deck of cards, and the objective is to win all the cards. Players each turn over a card, and the player with the highest card wins both cards. If there is a tie, players go to war and turn over three cards each. The player with the highest card wins all the cards.
Old Maid
Old Maid is a classic children's card game that is played with a standard deck of cards. The objective of the game is to avoid being left with the "old maid" card. Players take turns drawing cards from each other's hands, and if they make a match, they lay down the pair. The player left with the "old maid" card at the end of the game loses.
Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is a classic card game that is played with a standard deck of cards. The objective of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards. Players take turns playing a card that matches the suit or rank of the card on the top of the discard pile. If a player cannot play a card, they must draw from the deck until they can play a card.
Blackjack
Blackjack is a popular casino game that is played with a standard deck of cards. The objective of the game is to have a hand that is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand without going over. Players are dealt two cards and can choose to "hit" and receive additional cards, or "stand" and keep their current hand. The player with the highest hand wins.
Bridge
Bridge is a strategic card game that is played with a standard deck of cards. The game is played in teams of two, and the objective is to win the most tricks.
