Card Games

Hello everybody. I'm here to talk about some new card games I've played lately. I have played Old Maid, Crazy 8's, and go fish. I have played old maid quite a bit, and think it is quite fun. The way you play is you take out 1 of the 4 queens and set it aside. Once that is done, you shuffle, cut, and deal the cards, and there shouldn't be an even amount of cards in each players hand, but their can be. The way the game starts is, once all the previous stuff is done, you put all your pairs out in front of you, one person takes a card at random from the player to their right, and put it in their hand. If it makes a pair, put the card you got and the card that it makes a pair with, and put them in front of you, and it keeps going like this until everybody except for 1 person has no cards, and the person with the 1 card has the leftover queen, and becomes the old Maid, losing. In crazy 8s, shuffle the whole deck, and deal 5 cards to each player if there are more then 2 players, and 7 cards if there are 2 players. Once the cards have been dealt, you take the top card and put it next to the deck, face up. Who ever is to the right of the dealer goes first, and must play a card of the same suit or number. for example, if there is a six of diamonds on top of the pile, you have to either play a diamond, or a six. The eights can be any suit, including the suit the eight already is, but who would do that? The game continues like this until 1 player has no cards left, and is declared the winner. I'm sure you all know how to play go fish, but just to make sure, I'll tell you. So, you shuffle and cut the deck, dealing 7 cards if there are 2 players, and 5 cards if there are more. once that has happened, you decide what house rules you will use. Our family has it so you have to get pairs, not books, or four of a kind, and if you run out of cards, you get dealt back in with three cards, also, if you draw what you asked for from someone, of from the deck, you get to go again. Thank you for reading. More card games to come.
