Do You Play Cards?

Just curious about how many of us know how to/enjoy playing card games. I ask because my students are bonafide card sharks and love to play uno, old maid, go fish, and even now blackjack (which we call twenty-one in the classroom to kind of divorce it from being a casino game). When the kids get breaks, they always ask to play card games with me. It's a lot of fun. It's not something I do with my personal time, but I sure enjoy playing with them. They're just as much a bunch of smack talkers as they are card sharks, and it's always a lively time.

So how about you guys? Any card games you favor?

Occasionally. I still enjoy Uno and Skip-bo. I used to know how to play Bull****, Spades, and Canasta, but I've long since forgotten how. I used to play Go Fish and Solitaire as a kid.

Decks of cards were forbidden at my school because teachers were afraid we could gamble with it
so I convinced my class to always bring a deck of uno because we could pretty much use it for the same things lmfao (10 was the 0, J was the reverse, Q was the +2, K was the Block)

So for the last two years of high school lot of our school breaks were people playing stuff using uno cards: truco, poker, cheat, blackjack, and pig; less often we'd also play rodinha, and buraco. And of course, we could also always just go for traditional Uno, lol.
Every now and then I'd get experimental and try coming up with new game ideas, which was fun.

Other card games that were popular around my school that didn't use the traditional deck of cards were Yugioh, Magic, and Pokémon's TCG. And at some point Bakugan and the Dragon Ball one?

I don't play the standard 52 card deck games much. I can't seem to win and I lost money to my cousins 4 to 5 times :sweating::ananger:. Quit after that. I need to learn it by playing for free with someone

I play UNO and other card games like Pokemon TCG

I've played poker once and that was like a year ago but it was pretty fun. I enjoy any card game too, I can't think of any off the top of my head but yeah they're fun.

Magic: The Gathering is the big one I still play. While I don't play the game physically much these days (as sad as that makes me), I have been playing a lot of Magic Arena, the game's second online client. It sucks that I can't migrate my in real life collection of cards into Arena, but it's still fun.

I love me a good game of Uno every now and then. I’ve never really been into any TCGs but I did buy a starter pack and a few booster packs of Pokémon cards at the Pokémon Center the other day so I’m thinking to give it a shot.
