Nowadays, there are quite a lot of different card games that are regularly played by many people in the world
. Poker is probably the most commonly known game and played by many people of all ages. Solitaire is almost as popular as poker, and it is a game played by a single player.
Bridge is another well-known game, although it is losing the status. However, there are other several games that are simple and easy to play. Go Fish is one of the oldest games.
Every player gets seven cards and takes his turn by choosing other player and asks them if they have a specific card. If the other player owns that card, he must hand it to one who asked for. But, if the player does not have the card that was asked. The asking player must Go Fish and take a single card from the deck in the middle.
The key is to build pairs and the player who has the most pairs at the end will win the game. Old Maid is quite an easy game to play and all you need to do is going through a regular deck of cards and remove three of the four queens when you are playing with two players.
No more than four can play and you should have a queen for everyone playing minus one. Then you give out seven cards to each player and put the rest of the deck in the center of the playing area. Then you take turns to choose to draw from the deck or from the hand of another player.
The only queen left is known as the Old Maid and when all of the pairs are made, and laid out, the one left with the Old Maid card is the loser. If you are looking for card games for children then those two games are perfect. I am sure the children will love them, and adults like to play them as well.
