• 6 + 7

Keep pairing cards until there are no moves left or the pyramid is cleared.

Winning:

Remove every card from the pyramid before no matches remain.

Goal:

How to Play:

Split the deck evenly.

Both players flip one card at the same time.

Highest card wins the hand.

Matching cards trigger a “war” showdown.

How a “War Showdown” works:

1. Both players place:

3 cards face down, then 1 card face up

2. Compare the final face-up cards.

• Highest card wins EVERYTHING on the table.

3. If the face-up cards tie AGAIN, another war begins

Winning:

Collect every card in the deck.

Goal:

Avoid collecting point cards throughout the game.

Heart cards = 1 penalty point

Queen of Spades = 13 penalty points

How to Play:

Players take turns playing one card per trick.

Each Heart card collected is worth 1 penalty point.

The Queen of Spades is worth 13 penalty points.

Lowest score wins.

Winning:

Finish the game with the lowest total score.

Goal:

Score as many points as possible across 10 frames, just like a game of bowling.

How to Play:

Shuffle a standard deck of cards.

Draw two cards for each frame. (Number cards are worth their face value. Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 10 points. Aces are worth 1 point.)

Add the values of the two cards together to determine your frame score.

Play a total of 10 frames (20 cards).

Winning:

Add up your score after all 10 frames. The higher your total score, the better your game. Challenge yourself to beat your previous high score.

Be the first player to get rid of every card.

How to Play:

Match cards by suit or number.

Eights are wild and can change the suit.

Draw cards if you cannot play.

Winning:

Clear your hand before the other player.

Goal:

Be the first player to get rid of all your cards and avoid becoming the ‘Shithead.’

How to Play:

Each player receives:

• 3 face-down cards
• 3 face-up cards placed on top
• 3 cards in their hand

Players take turns placing cards equal to or higher than the current card in play. Certain cards reset or change gameplay:

• 2 resets the pile
• 10 clears the pile
• 7 reverses the play so the next player must play a 7 or lower (unless they have a 2 or 10).

If a player can’t play, they must pick up the entire pile. Once hand cards are gone, players move to their face-up and then face-down cards.

Winning:

Get rid of all your cards before everyone else. The last player left holding cards is the Shithead.

Goal:

Reveal every card before the final King appears.

How to Play:

Deal cards into a clock-shaped layout.

Flip and place cards according to their value.

Continue cycling through piles as cards are revealed.

Winning:

Reveal all cards successfully before uncovering the fourth King too early.

Goal:

Win all the cards in the deck through quick reactions and well-timed slaps.

How to Play:

Split the deck evenly between both players.

Players take turns placing cards face up into a center pile.

Certain card combinations trigger a slap:

• Doubles
• Sandwiches
• Runs

The first player to slap the pile correctly wins the cards.

Face cards trigger challenge rounds where the other player has limited chances to respond with another face card.

Winning:

Collect every card in the deck.

Goal:

Build the best five-card poker hand using your two cards and the community cards on the table.

Queens = 12 Kings = 13

Aces = high or low depending on the hand

How to Play:

Each player receives 2 private cards.

Five community cards are revealed in stages:

• The Flop = 3 cards
• The Turn = 1 card
• The River = 1 card

Players bet after each stage.

Winning:

Have the strongest five-card poker hand after the final betting round, or bluff everyone else into folding first.

How to Play:

Split the deck evenly between both players.

Players take turns placing cards face up into the center pile.

Incorrect slaps usually require giving up a card to the other player.

Winning:

Collect every card in the deck.

Goal:

Work with your teammate to win the number of tricks you bid each round.

Card Values:

Spades are always the highest suit.

Aces are high.

Before the round starts, players bid how many tricks they think they can win.

Players take turns playing one card per hand.

Players must follow the leading suit if possible.

If unable to follow suit, a player may play a Spade to trump the hand.

Winning:

The first team to reach the agreed point total by successfully hitting their bids wins the game.
