Egyptian Rat Race is a fun card game I learned. It's good for as many players you like except one.

See this site for the rules:

Note: It goes much faster by playing doubles, and don't play sandwiches. I find it easier not to pay attention to the 'incorrectly slapping' penalty.  

Answer 3

My favorite card game is BS (bull ****) where you pass all the cards to the players (at least 3 ppl) and you guys have to place down a card  (taking turns) starting with the ace and work your way up.oh and you also have to say what card you placed down. and of course the cards you were passed is in a "hand position" not deck" so you can look at your cards. first one who gets rid of all of their cards is the winner. but im not done yet. say someone puts a 7 and its your turn and you don't have an 8. well you put down a card anyways and say you put down an 8. See? you are "BSing". but if someone found out you were BSing. they say BS and reveals your card. if you lied (which you did) you get all the cards. if you told the truth, then HA that person gets the cards.

Another Game is called squido where you have to pass all the cards to your friends (at least 2 ppl). and then in a "deck" position you place the card right-side up saying 1 and work your way up to thirteen. when you say a number like 5 and it happens to be 5, slap it and the last person to slap it gets all the cards. the person with all the cards is the loser. so, the game is really to see who is the loser ^-^

Answer 5

OK, you might need an open mind for this one. Did you know that tarot cards were created for playing card games?

Tarot cards were created in the mid 15th century, commissioned by the Duke of Milan as part of the celebrations for his daughter, Bianca Visconti's marriage into the Sforza family. They were made by adding a fifth suit of cards to the already existing pack of playing cards. These extra cards took as their theme, not an occult philosophy but a traditional Christian triumph procession - hence they were called trionfi, meaning triumphs, and from which we get our word trump. It was the invention of tarot that marked the invention of trumps in card games! All of the figures on those cards, however exotic they look today, were staples of Christian art at that time. Contrary to what many say, the church never banned them after taking offence - they never took offence because they recognized the images and knew them as a game.

The games of tarot spread beyond Italy, at one time becoming the most popular form of card game throughout continental Europe. For their first 350 years they were only used for games. It was not until the very end of the 18th century that French occultists began to suggest mysterious origins and meanings - and of course, fortune telling. Needless to say, they did not back their claims with a shred of evidence.

The games of tarot are not a thing of the past, this diverse family of point-trick games is still played in at least a dozen countries in Europe and in France it is now their second most popular card game.

The games range in sophistication, from entry level games like Scarto to those that can give bridge a run for its money, such as Ottocento and Point-Tarock.

I've created a web site to make the rules available to English speakers, there are 25 games posted there now (more to come), along with advice regarding the cards to buy and where to get them.
