We especially like to place Euchure and Trivial Pursuit. Infact part of us played in once a month Triva tournament and 5 of us played on different teams and one or two of our teams would always be in the money 9 times out of ten. <BR/>I remeber one Christmas eve when my oldest brother and I were in our twenties, we started playing Euchure with a couple of our friend in the kitchen about 9 or 10pm and when my mom got up to put the turkey in the oven for Christmas dinner about 5am, we were still playing cards. <BR/>I think games keep people young and old gain a sharp mind. <BR/>My mom taught all of us kids to count and also taught her grandkids to count by playing cribbage. So any game can be educational.Kathleen Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750925187927330976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-67925694175489750602009-03-04T20:25:00.000-06:002009-03-04T20:25:00.000-06:00it does i learn what otehr playes have and their t...it does i learn what otehr playes have and their tells. it is fun<BR/><BR/>khAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-57151728433230761372009-03-04T18:58:00.000-06:002009-03-04T18:58:00.000-06:00Estella, any card game is good.

Put 3 quarters (or an amount of your choice) in front of you. Everyone gets one card and you start left of dealer. Ace is low and King is high. You decide if you want to keep your card or trade to the left. They have to trade with you unless they have a King and then get to say screw you. Dealer has a choice of keeping his card (which many times is the lowest card passed on) or pick one from the pile. Loser (lowest card) puts a quarter in the pot. After your 3 quarters are gone, you get one "on your honor". Last one standing with money or an on your honor wins the pot. (if two people have the same low card they both pay). The more people, the more fun.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-46788397057932735122009-03-04T12:55:00.000-06:002009-03-04T12:55:00.000-06:00Oh, and of cards?
