Good two player card games?

Question

My mom and I must have played over a hundred games of rummy, and I'm getting tired of it.

Anyone know some good two player card games that at least required some thinking and strategy? Not childish ones like old maid, war, or go fish.

Answer 1

Really good card games for two are few and far between. I always used to love Bezique:

If you can be open minded, you might want to try out these two tarot games (tarot cards were created for playing games and they are still used for them throughout much of continental Europe):
