Card games

Anyone know some good card games? Cards are pretty easy to take when travelling (been camping a bit lately and they’re good for that) but I don’t really know many games.  Poker is good but better with chips but then they’re not easy to travel with.

My wife and her family got me into playing crib (cribbage?). It’s really fun but you do also need a crib board (you can get travel size). You can play 2 or 4 players.

Go Fish is another fun game. Uno is good too but you need Uno cards.

My favourite is definitely poker. You can get small/lightweight chips and get creative with the dominations (different colours) so you can play with minimal chips. This is best for playing tournament style. You don’t even really need actual chips as long as you have some sort of currency.

While you need an even number to play Euchre or 500, a crew of 5 people will be great for Black B!tch!!!!!

It’s an easy game that gets a lot of laughs!!!!!

Actually this might be a good place to ask about a card game that been bugging me for a while it was quite a number of years back at a poker night after a few drink so my memory of the rules are really sketchy. It was a really fun gambling game that started out cheap but got really expensive quickly (started with dollars ended up with swings of multiple hundreds)

It revolved around starting with an ante in the pot, you went around in a circle and your maximum bet could be up to the size of the current pot (I enjoyed the strategy where you could roughly count the cards visible and adjust bet sizing accordingly). I think there were two random cards acting as “goal posts” and you had to randomly draw a card and if it was in between the two cards you won the pot if it was outside you lost your bet if you hit a goal post (i.e same card value) you had to put in double the pot (expensive!) Now this could be completely wrong but does it sound somewhat familiar to anyone?

Yaniv is probably one of my favourites http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaniv_(card_game)

 

I believe that online casinos are better both in terms of card games and gambling games in general. Just compare with this one new video slot games online on syndicate casino

Hi buddy, I personally play poker since childhood, and for me it is the best game on the planet. Besides, you can just buy a small poker case and keep everything there. I play poker very well and recently friends told me that I can earn money on this good money, sitting at home. As it turned out, you can play online with real players in the Asian casino https://wedeqq.org/ and earn great money. I just had money problems and I decided to try, because I had nothing to lose. As a result, I earned more 5000 bucks in the first week and am going to increase my income. The coolest thing is that the casino does not cheat and pays me all the money won. If this continues, then I will soon become a millionaire.

You are very cool, keep up the good work.

Man, if you like to travel, then you can play in an online casino, because there are all the games there. I just found one great casino recently and when I travel, I always play in this casino to have fun. In addition, thanks to the games In this casino, I was able to earn about $ 20,000 a month and this is really a lot of money. So if you want to have fun and make good money, then an online casino is a great option. There are a huge number of different games and you can play absolutely everything, for example, I play belatra slots on syndicate casino
and this is one of the coolest games.

I think that when travelling it is best to play with a mobile phone online, it is convenient and there is a chance to play for real money, in my collection there is a good site PlayAmo Australia on this site there is a large selection of card games. I recommend it!
