Thread: Playing Cards

I just thought of this recently and couldn't find any threads on playing cards. This can be a discussion on any card games that you find fun in particular.

Personally I like to play an old Italian game called Scopa. I am starting to learn Briscola also. For those games you need a 40 card deck.

For 52 card decks I usually play Gin, Rummy, Stud, or Draw.

I used to play a lot of cribbage as a lad, with my father mainly. A fun game, but unfortunately not too many people know how to play it nowadays.

My best card game ever was me and a good friend, poker, cash on the table and way to much whisky....
Next day we found a note on the floor "IOU 800" but in Swedish.
Since none of us remembered anything after midnight it was hard to figure out who owed who.
We ended up going to the pub with 800 each and bought each other drinks all night, that was one fun evening!

Are you sure it meant 800 in money? It could have meant lashes with the cat-o'-nine tails!!

I quote; "Eucher, a card game popular in the 1860s..."
I wasn't even born then.

The Real Question Is Do You Have A Razor From Then?
