Cribbage is my favourite card game. It is a two player game, but can be played with three players. The modifications for a three-player game are listed at the end of the rules.
Tablanette is a two-player card game. Parker and I discovered it when we were looking through the Pan Book of Card Games by Hubert Phillips. We have not played Tablanette in a while, but I remember enjoying this game and hope to play it again soon.
My mom and step-dad absolutely love the card game Rummy. As a result, my sister and I have also come to love this game. During my high school years, it was our main go-to game on homework-less evenings and slow weekend afternoons.
The first trick-taking game I ever played with Parker is French Tarot - the most complicated trick-taking game I have ever come across. We both enjoyed French Tarot and still talk about playing it again, but it took a while to get used to the rules. We soon after discovered 500 (a simpler form of French Tarot) and, because of our experience, took to it quickly.
Raj is my new ’new favourite game’. I learned about it by reading up on what Boardspace.net has available, and after reading the rules I instantly fell in love. Raj has that essentialness which is shared by certain abstracts. It is the simplest possible expression of a fundamental game mechanic and yet it still playable as an interesting game in itself.
Immediately after learning Schanpsen, I want to start mucking with the game. It is played with a small deck of AQKJT9 in four suits. The standard point values are as follows.
