Old Maid

From 2 to 6 players

How to Play: Old Maid, also known as Vieux Garcon or Old Boy in France, is one of the most popular card games. Its history dates back to 1600. Although they sell fancy decks of cards in shops since 19th century, it's equally easy to play with a standard deck of cards. It's important to eliminate all cards from your deck without being stuck with an Old Maid or Queen. You can win multiple times, but you only lose one. This makes it a very enjoyable game.

First, remove one Queen from the deck. Next, deal all cards face-down to each player in a clockwise order. After each player has looked at their cards, they will remove any pairs and place them on the table. The first player to move (usually the one left of the dealer), then places their entire card deck face-down. This allows the player to their side to choose one. If they make two pairs, the pair is put face down and played around the table. All the pairs are completed and the "Old Maid", the one remaining player, is left holding onto the lone queen.

War

Players: 2

How to play: Deal the deck face down between your two opponents so you each have 26 cards. Players can simultaneously flip the cards on the table without even looking at them. The player with the highest number wins both cards. If the cards are not identical, it is a 'war'. Players then deal three cards facedown followed by one face-up card. The highest number wins all 10 cards. The game continues until one of the players is out cards, or is angry or crying. How to Play Card Games
