Card Games
 

Hey guys, need a favour. In the hostel and we have a few days of storms ahead of us and we have a pack of cards. We have several card games that we already play such as poker, crazy 8's, ****head, President etc.

Just wondering if you lot have any other good card games that you could suggest. :hugesmile:

I know a couple but not what they are called, I'm sure there's a website with listed games, rules and how to play etc?

Hope you are conducting yourself in a respectable manner, Mr Turtle. Keep your legs crossed. :evilgrin:

Knockout whist, cheat

We play cheat already. :(

I just found a game called 500 and another called Camp (the irony).

S*** head is good

Ben, not to sound rude but you're online :tongue: the world is your oyster :D

There are tonnes of drinking card games :amazed:

Kings?

Scabby queen

Or just watch porn

:joker::joker::joker:

And film it for Scott

Scott would cream his pants with some of the stories I could tell him about hostel life.

go on :amazed:

I think I'll save them for a later date. ;)

My favourite drinking card game (apart from ring of fire obvs) is pyramid.

You arrange 16 cards on the table like:


face-down obvs. you then have to go from one end to the other, turning them over, without revealing a picture card or ace (Jack, Queen, King, Ace). If you do get one, you have to drink, and then start again (putting new cards face-down on the ones you've turned over).

Hearts/Black Mariah

Knock-out Whist is probably my favourite game :love:

Have you ever played bull-****

That's a good card game.

Oh wait, apparently that's the American version and it's called Cheat over here, nevermind... just ignore me xoxox

Whist is a really good game.

Hearts, Cheat, Solitaire (my dad always called it Patience) and go fish :love:

gin? Cant remember what its called but you have 7 cards initially, you pick up and discard a card each turn till you have either a run all the same suit or a prial. 1st to get this is the winner.
Example 4,5,6,7 of hearts and 3 10's

'Crash' or 13 card brag, sort your hand into 4 lots of 3 ..prial, run, flush, pair. Point for the player who has the best 1st, 2nd,3rd and 4th hand. If 1 player wins all four thats a crash.

3 card brag is good too play for chips, money or matches.

Hearts/Chase The Lady (Black Mariah?) we play it at College sometimes

Cheat/Bull**** > all

I love this drinking game. :love:

Yeah, that's my favourite game :love:

Emm, have you played Old Maid or Gin Rummy?

Canasta is my favourite but it takes ages to learn.

Oh, we have a new game!

Gesticulate

Basically it's a 4 player game and you have to work in pairs. You split the deck into two piles (one pile has the j,q,k and ace in it, the other pile has the rest).

With the big deck (non picture cards) you split them into 3 roughly equal piles and place them between the group.

You then deal out the picture cards pile so each player has 4 cards and you have to try and make 4 of a kind (4 j, 4 q, 4 k, 4 a) by passing a card along to the next player. You and your partner must individually try to get four of a kind and when you do you have to secretly signal to your partner that you have 4 of a kind (the secret signal is decided before the very start of the game). When your partner realises you have 4 of a kind you must then both slam your hands down onto one of the central piles before the other team realise. If you manage to get 2/3 of the central piles then your team wins and you pick up one of the central cards which gets you a point for that round. If the other team however beat you and get 2/3 of the central pile then they pick one card and get the poits. You can trick the other teams with pretend signs and slam your hands next to (but not on the pile) and if both teams fall for the trick and slam their hands on the central piles you get to pick a central card for another set of points.

The game continues until there are only 2 cards left in the centre. You then add up the points that your team have acquired remembering that heart cards the value is doubled.

One last thing, the player who has the Queen of hearts at the start of each round is the player that starts the round and therefor they only have to make 3 of a kind.

It seems complex and takes a while to master but it gets really intense and fun as you and your partner learn new ways to trick the other team.

Also if the other team guess your secret signal, then they get to pick up a central card, gain some points and your team must choose a new signal. If they guess wrong however, you can keep your signal and you get to pick a central card.

Jack change it.

Chase the ace is you're playing for money

Sounds like a more fun version of Pig, though you can only have 4 players :amazed:
