Don't forget microSD, but playing 52 pickup with those would suck.

Get out of jail free card is the best.

I like Bicycle® brand myself.

Hallmark ones are too expensive.

i like aristocrats even though they are harder to come by. but they have a good weight and feel to them. bicycle is popular but i dont like how they tend to stick and for some reason i have trouble scaling with them. bee's arent bad and i havent had a lot of experience with tally-ho's.

in a poker game though i much prefer the plastic than paper cards, too much risk of cards sticking or hiding underneath each other and causing a frustrating misdeal.

I get them from Costco to save money.

My mom sends me one every valentines day.

I'm a Hearts man myself, but I'm also up for good game of cribbage.

I wanted to reply with "Bicycle" when I saw the title, but it seems like everyone else beat me to similar jokes.

Edit:

Did the OP change his post after everyone responded or something?

 

[Steve]

He edited at the same date and time of his post, so he hasn't changed much, and not before any of these responses.

Me, I like all cards.

I'm very difficult to beat at hearts and spades. But, recently, I've been on a Canasta spree. There is just something appealing about taking an easy to master game and being pitted against 3 random foes/partners (who may or may not have a clue of what they are doing). Clearly, if everyone knew the game well, they'd be too simple. But if you get stuck with a crappy partner, it is damn fun overcoming that handicap.

I'll play bridge and the other games which are 100% table talk. But I just don't enjoy them as much since it is just masked table talk and not a real game.

pinochle, but only real cards, double deck partner, no passing.

my grandparents started teaching me pinochle when i was 6 or 7. i love playing, but the only time i can is when i'm with my family. no one my age (23) knows how to play, that is if they've even heard of the game before.

also, why double deck?

Nobody plays Euchre? Maybe it's a Canadian thing....

Or nobody could spell euchre, if that's how it's spelled.

Euchre is fun for an hour, but it really just gets boring after that. It just gets so routine after a short amount of time. I like games with more staying power.

I learned how to play it long ago, when I was young and in Canada, but I've long since forgotten.

Spades is always a pretty good game. It's not frustrating like some others.

it can be very frustrating if you get dealt a bad hand... just like any card game. its also frustrating playing with a partner that has no clue and too many beers in him.

and i like spades, its my fave game.

 

[Billyzeke]

Strip poker.

 

[KK]

I like the bitch of hearts.

 

[Billyzeke]

Euchre when it's dealt correctly. 3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3
