Card Games

[BreakABone]

After the blackout that occurred last summer, I promised myself I would buy activities that could be done without power.

Almost a year later, I finally brought myself a pack of cards. I don't usually play cards too often. but I do know a few games so I was wondering, can yal share some popular card games you play, if you play them. Or even variants on famous ones like Poker.

Texas Hold-em. Here is how to play:

In Hold-em (also known as Texas Hold-em), each player is dealt two cards face down. At this point betting opens based on the two "pocket cards" that each player holds. After betting is complete, the dealer lays out the flop. The flop consists of several cards dealt face up in the middle of the table, used as community cards. The dealer first lays three cards into the flop, so your initial poker hand will consist of the three flop cards plus your two personal cards. There is a betting round, then another card is added to the flop. More betting, and finally a fifth card is added. The goal is for each player to make the best 5-card hand possible based on his/her two pocket cards and any three cards in the flop.

Slapjack and Reverse Slapjack are my favorite card games. After that, Speed is always fun and Spoons is as well. These games money games, they're just for fun and to have a general good time

Have you played Pusoy or Chinese Poker? I don't play it, but my Bro says it's really fun.

Asshole, its a fun game

How to play:

Set up with friends at a table. Whole deck is dealt out. Its kind of like Big 2 in a way, but not, you'll see why.

Card order. the cards hierarchy goes like so:

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A , 2

(yes. the 2 is the best card.) It also can be played in suits; suits are as follows from lowest to highest: Diamonds, Clubs, Hearts, Spades.

The first card that is always played is the 3 of diamonds.
Then the next player tries to beat it. And so on.
The player with the highest playable card starts the next selection ( this card can be anything, including doubles, trips and quads)

To beat a Quad Ace, you would need three 2's.
To beat a Trip Ace, you need two 2's
To beat a high double you need one 2.
( to beat a card witha 2, you need one less the number, unless it is singles)

The first person out is known as "President" then " Vice president" then "Neutral" then " vice ass" then " asshole"

The next game you play, when you have titles, there are stipulations.

President gives his/her 2 worst cards to asshole.
Asshole give 2 best cards to president
Neutral sits there and trades up to with any other neutral cards of their choice.( optional)
Vice president gives worst card to vice ass.
vice ass gives best card to vice president.

(in a game if you only have 4 people, the only titles are "pres" and "ass")

Dealing order:

The person who is dealt to first is the person on the left of the "asshole" thus making the asshole get the last card of the dealing.

NOTE: the first game you play has no titles, so everyone is neutral.

Yes i am aware this game doesnt really make sense when typed up, but its fun.


OTHER NOTE: If the person before you plays double 4's. You must play a double. If the card count is singles, it must stay singles until the set is over, same for doubles, trips and quads.

You may not have your last card as a 2, if you do so, you are automatically "asshole" for the next round.

Hhah I loved Bullsh!t in School.

We use to play all the time during lunch or when subs were around.

It's weird though. I can keep a straight face when lying, but trying to tell the truth is tough for me.

I also play texas Hold 'Em, Spades, War (I Declare War as we call it), Crazy Ace (Uno with a standard deck of card) and some others I don't know the name of.

My three favorite card games ever:

Speed
Five Card Draw (nothing wild)
Egyptian Rat Screw

I might post instructions for ERS later...I'm too sleepy right now.

We're not allowed to have cards in my school anymore. The Administration found out that some people were gambling, and I guess they banned it. It's really stupid, but whatever. I haven't played many card games since that happened.

Texas Hold'em is teh ****. In the military, spades is the game of choice, but you'll need 4 people.

I love playing Big 2 and Big Cheat with the Asians whenever I was on band trips, but I forget how to play all the time and need instructions. It's fun though. Big Cheat is just based around bluffing.

I love Speed, Old School Speed, Bull****, War, and both versions of Slapjack.
