Tell me your favourite card games (pack of cards)

[Mimx]

I’m putting together a birthday present for a friend who loves camping with their family, which will have a few different card games (fluxx, exploding kittens, uno) as well as a standard pack of cards. I want to print and laminate the instructions to a selection of card games, so am keen to know what you think the best card games there are out there. I’m starting with 7s and gin rummy - what else?

Another vote for Shit Head

Canasta. But you need two decks.
Bridge?

Hearts or Black Maria a great game that improves the more you play amongst the same group.

Snap . Strip Jack Naked . Pontoon . Spite and Malice . Newmarket .
Take a box of Spillikins as well , it's quiet and 'still' !

Cheat (or Bullshit depending on your audience) is a firm favourite in this house

I'd recommend a card games manual if you can get one. I taught myself so many games from one my parents had, even multiplayer ones when I was alone.

Cribbage. Need a board though, but they can be small.

Shithead all day long.

Quango
Three Card Brag

Everyone likes Shithead. We actually bought one of those poo emoji hats for added humiliation for the loser.

Whist
Hearts
Chase the Ace
Poker
