3/30/2023 0 Comments Card games deck of cardsWhether it’s with a basic title like Go Fish or Crazy 8, or with a more sophisticated game such as Hearts or Spades, the foundation is already laid for you to build upon. People don’t have to be gamers to know about suits, rankings, and playing cards around a table. The vast majority out there are familiar with a deck of cards. Special recommendation: Rummy – the standard and classic set collection game known to all but who live under a rock…it is so basic I wouldn’t want to pay any amount more than the cost of a deck to play. As a matter of fact, cards are so inexpensive that if you lose a card, spill something on them, bend them, tear them, or just plain play the faces off of them, just buy a new pack. Many options at one low price? That adds up to tremendous value! Even my imported European decks are much cheaper than any hobby game could ever dream of – and that includes smaller commercial card games. Not only do you have a tremendous variety of options with one deck of cards, it’s also inexpensive. Special recommendation: Whist – the “grandfather” of all trick-taking games has so many variations, it could keep you content for a year: 2-7 players, a children’s form, no bidding, with bidding, no trumps, with trumps, majority trick-taking, exact trick-taking, no trick-taking – ah, the Spice of Life, indeed! Even though it blows the mind, many of them are still easy to learn and quite accessible! You can play simple games, quick games, complex games, long games, ones with sheer luck, or ones with more strategy. The number of titles, plethora of individual variations, and diversity of styles are literally unimaginable and practically endless. With just one deck of cards, you can step into a whole world of games. Because a deck of cards can be better than a board game – and here are 10 reasons why. When it comes down to it, often times I’m just as content or more to revisit some good old traditional card games. We really dig board games and we know that you do, too – that’s why you’re here! It’s a great hobby and a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends – and to make new ones. More than that, from its relationship with China’s invention of paper to its inclusion in the proliferation of ideas flowing from East to West to teaching about famous courtly men like Charlemagne, Alexander, and King David to introducing common idioms we still use today such as, “He’s not playing with a full deck” (I hear that one a lot for some reason) and even to fomenting the American Revolution and thus the maturation of human rights (what, so I can get a bit dramatic!) the history of cards is fascinating and diverse. History! You could be playing games that date back centuries. So, I’m willing to bet you didn’t know that with a deck of cards, you’re holding history in your hands.
