UNO and it ain't even close. Anyone saying otherwise is wrong.

Coincidentally, I taught my kindergartener nephew how to play Uno after our big family Easter feast yesterday. He's an energetic young lad, so I figured he'd lose interest a lot faster than he actually did. He was having fun learning it and playing it - so much so that his 3-year-old brother got interested, too. It eventually morphed into a larger game with my brother, his 13-year-old son, his 16-year-old son, my 18-year-old daughter, my 20-year-old son and my wife. Good times.

2 card guts.

Used to love taking my dad and his buddies money after they got drunk.

So simple, quarter ante, match the pot if you stay and lose, AA is the best possible hand, 2-3 is the worst possible hand. Those pots routinely got close to 500 dollars before the pot broke and the deal changed.

In between, or acey-deucey as sometimes called was another great game. You could win or lose a good chunk in a hurry

Guts ain't guts unless you add in beat the deck too if you're the only one who stays in.

That’s a fun variant too, but I like the real option to bluff being right of the dealer. Won several big pots with trash in the spot being the only one that stayed
 
early years: crazy eights and old maid -
later years: canasta, gin & cribbage

learned to play bourre when i was out of college
and workin in Lafayette -
recall it was a fun game,
but don't remember much about it now -
will have to look back into it -
 
It was a great treat for us to be able to sit around the table, behind the adults, as they played cards. The price of admission was absolute silence, and movements limited to refilling iced tea glasses. Rook, spades, clubs, pitch, canasta, and even the odd domino game was what we watched ... while listening to the adults talk was the reward.

Nobody ever play Hearts, Spades, or Bridge ???

We played a lot of Hearts when I was st UBC living in residence. And we picked away at bridge.

When I had my summer jobs driving forklifts we'd play Elimination Whist at breaks. 7 cards dealt, needed to get a trick or be eliminated. Most tricks called trump. 1 less card dealt each hand.
 
Me and my two first cousins played Spades with my grandpa when we were kids. He loved sitting around the table with his 3 grandsons playing that til the wee hours of the night. Sitting around in our underoos trying to come up with ways to signal your partner what cards you have.

So Spades for me, and it's not even debatable. Anyone that says otherwise doesn't love America.
 
just remembered, when i was in Montana,
we'd play pinochle with the grandparents -
loved that game -
don't know many who play here in the south -
 
I bet some of you guys from the midwest and up near the border have played Euchre. That's what we grow up playing in southern Ontario.
