What's your favorite game (or activity) using a standard deck of 52 cards? Why that game? Are you a card gambler? Card scaler? Card house builder?

Question

Yes solitaire counts but I'm judging you HARD loser! If you like Uno, Pokemon or Cards Against Humanity lmk that too!

I (used to) like to play Spades, Canasta, Gin Rummy, and Hearts, among others, back when people actually used to socialize in that manner.
Some of my extended family members used to seem to enjoy playing cards.
That's no longer the case.

I've never actually played cribbage, but I'd like to learn how, not that I'd be able to find anyone to play with anyway.
I once watched a couple of guys playing cribbage in the dining car on a cross-country train trip during off-meal hours.
It looked pretty interesting and fun to me.
After the train trip, I bought a cribbage board and tried playing against myself.
That didn't last very long.

For many years, no one else who I know cares to play cards, so I play against apps with the settings set to play against the most difficult opponents, with my AI partner being a little kid.
My AI kid partner and I rarely, if ever, lose, which sucks.
It's not much fun, winning all of the time.

It's nowhere near as much fun as playing with real people.

My real card decks have sat unused for many years.

Oh, woe is me!

Geez, what a downer post, huh?

Cheers to all!

lol. None. The reason I love chess is that there is no element of chance. If I lose it's because I missed a tactic or my opponent was just better. With cards, I'm the type who would be holding four aces and have someone else get a straight flush.

I come from a card playing family, going back many generations. I like casino, cribbage, pinochle, rummy, euchre, hearts... My favorites are the ones that involve some strategy to win.

I really enjoy playing Poker with a standard deck of 52 cards. It's a game that combines strategy, skill, and a bit of luck, which makes it exciting every time. While I'm not a gambler by nature, I appreciate the challenge it presents and the way it brings people together for some friendly competition. 😊

I really don't play cards often, but, once in a while, a good old MTG, why not. Even with 52 cards.
