Which card games are your favorites?
Back in high school the biggest game going was Gin Rummy. I remember many afternoons and evenings spent playing tournaments against friends. And I swear, it wasn’t as geeky as it sounds.
Nowadays I don’t play cards very often, but Gin Rummy and/or Rummy is a common one to fall back on. I’ve played more complex games like Euchre (which I always thought was “Uecker”, after Bob Uecker) and Pinochle maybe once or twice… but the myriad rules keep me away.

If Euchre, Spades and Hearts didn’t exist, I surely would have had a higher GPA in college. In high school it was all about poker.

I mostly stick with custom games these days, rather than standard card deck ones.
But for the standard ones, bridge. A smart partner and an insane bidding scheme really made the game fun. Besides, about a quarter of the time you could get up and get food or drink instead of playing…

Even though I’m all about poker now, when I was 16, I worked at a camp for a summer where we played Pinochle every available moment. I remember it being so much fun, with every counselor, young and old, getting in on the action.
I couldn’t tell you now how you even play Pinochle.
