Question: What's your favorite card game?
My Answer: I like Poker, but the game I've had the most fun playing has got to be Hearts. My mom, grandma, and sister had some brutal games of Hearts as recently as five years ago. Just brutal!

Texas Hold'em Poker. I'm kinda split on no-limit or not, you need to be playing with a group of civilized people to play no-limit.

Real card games: Euchre, then Poker (but not that lousy 5 card draw).
Games that use cards: Mafia/Muderer.

Even though I haven't played in a long time, my favorite card game is Magic: The Gathering. I'm such a geek. 😉

Those are all such great games.
Hearts is easily my favorite playing cards card game.
Mafia would be my favorite game that uses the cards, although I have played Mafia with Uno cards too.
Magic: The Gathering is an awesome collectable card game... I just never had enough money to get the best cards. It would be cool to have a strategy card game with a definate number of cards.

Magic: The Gathering... ah, the memories 🙂
I have a great rats deck, which is pretty good even though it's very low cost (I collected most of the cards by begging for the garbage nobody else wanted for their decks 🙂 ). Haven't played for about 5 years now, though. I'm not even sure I can remember all of those rules (it's very complicated!).

I'm a really big fan of "Bullshit." I'm sure that everyone's played that... it's a game of lying and trying to uncover others' lies. Incidentally, I like politics too.

Bullshit's a corker (we call it "Cheat" when playing in polite company 🙂 ), but other favourites include Newmarket and Poker.
I can't believe no-one's mentioned Solitaire yet 😀

Question of the Day: What's your favorite card game? Well since the question just says "card game", I would have to say Magic the Gathering. It would be the only card game that I get around to playing at all....

Nor has anyone mentioned Pinochle. It's my favorite card game using standard playing cards.
With Tarot cards, on the other hand, I'm a big Zarcana and Gnostica fan.
