I prefer UNO to Crazy 8's but will play either. Anything else and I get bored too quickly.
Thanks for reminding me, I need to reinstall my Hoyle Card Games.

Just for reference: The 2003 version is one of the best. If you can find it thats the one to get. The last few years have really stunk, especially 2009.


EDIT:
I guess I should come clean. I played Magic back in Jr High. I had mostly Alphas and Betas and some Revised. By the time 4th edition came out I was tired of it. Too damn expensive. WotC got insanely greedy and took all the joy out of the game.
I did get the Microprose PC game when it came out. Pretty darn good while I played it on Win98, but it doesnt work well under Windows XP. There are some special instructions on the internet for getting it to work but its so damn painful its not worth it.
 
My favorite of all time is Magic but it's a money dump.
Uno is a close favorite too.

Standard cards: Blackjack and Presidents and Assholes...it's pretty hard to choose from them.
 
Cribbage. My wife and I play a game almost every day. About 3 years ago, we started keeping score and, as of today, I'm 3 games up 🙂
 
I use to love playing Thirteen (Asian game) with friends in HS. Soooo many hands of that, the games moved so fast no matter what 4 of us were playing at the time. I also played Magic a lot and liked that. But I think Pinochle is my #1 when all is said and done.
 
No love for Whist? Oh well, cribbage then. Ever been to a cribbage bar in the midwest? You'll end up buying a lot of beer for the education.
