hii! what are y’alls fav playing card games? feel free to suggest stuff outside of games for the 52 card deck too!
I’ve been getting into Doppelkopf! It’s a trick-taking game with tons of rules and variations on those rules and a kinda weird ordering for the trump cards, but it’s quite fun. My favorite thing opposed to other trick-taking games is that you start each round but don’t necessarily know who of the other 3 players is on your team. So each round can end up requiring a different strategy!
It’s pretty complex, but my gf’s mom has been teaching the two of us and her sister, so it’s a bit less overwhelming. Tons of people in my department play at university, so I’ll finally be able to drop in and play a few rounds with them as study breaks :D
For 52 card, I’m a sucker for trick-taking. So games like Hearts and Spades. One of my friends has been importing a ton of small box games from Japan and Korea, and there are some good card games in the batch like Hachi Train and Nana (aka Trio).
Make sure to check out Schnapsen if you haven’t already. Great choice when you only have 2 players. I have a little blurb and links in my other comment.
Star Realms for sure. Then there’s Dominion.
Also love Scout, The Crew, Regicide.
