Do you have any favourite card games that you play?
What's the most 'unusual/unique' card game that you know how to play?
When did you last play some card games?

Pretty much the only card game I play is cribbage. That's sort of the family game-----------I play it with aunts and uncles and cousins and all at get-togethers (...which means I've barely played it since 2019).

I know how to play gin, and poker. I like euchre, though it's hard to get a game going, because you can't find three other people who know euchre to save your life.

My mom knows more card games than I ever will, and that's cool-----------I know she'd teach me pinochle if I asked her to, same as I'd teach her how to play Mario Kart.

I haven't played it in a while, but cribbage was one of my dad's favorite games, so I learned it young. I made my own board in shop class.

My grandad was a woodworker and carpenter---------------when we were cleaning out his house and garage a few years back, we found dozens and dozens of cribbage boards he'd made over the years, all kinds of materials, every shape and size (one particularly huge one we keep in the living room as a side table). It's a good game.

None, really. I mean I kinda understand Poker and 21 enough to mess around in video games but that's about it. I don't know all the details and rules though.

I've always been more interested in Pokemon and Yugioh cards, but they've changed a lot so I don't even know how to play those. Others I've played are the Dragon Ball Z & Super card games, Final Fantasy, and Yu Yu Hakusho. I tried learning Digimon as a kid and Magic the Gathering more recently (few years ago).

I know how to play quite a few card games... Poker, Rummy, Patience (Solitaire), UNO, Cribbage (although it's been a long while), and I used to play Pokemon Trading Card Game (been an even longer while now).


Ooooh and GoFish!, and Old Maid... and SNAP!!
