Another MTG fan here!
Too bad i have no one to play MTG with anymore.. It sure owned when i played it a lot.. ^^
I still have few decks left.. Now i just need someone to play against

Never got into MTG myself. I've always stuck to the classic card games - it's much simpler that way. To each their own, as they say.

I love playing Texas Holde'm, that has the be the greatest poker game ever made.

Hy. I don`t have any favorite card game, cause I don`t like to play it, and I don`t know it too. When I have infor classes usually I play solitare. That is the most popular game in our class. I know, it`s a very stupid game, but for us it`s great
Maybe the online games in Windows, are interestings too, but sometimes I get a partner with high skills, and unfortunately I lost that game, and |I became sad
Mostly I like the action games. The card games are too borings for me

It would probably be a tie between Rummy, Gin and Egyptian Rat Screw.

Most people probably know what Rummy and Gin are but I will explain Egyptian Rat Screw (or Egyptian Rat [expletive deleted] as we call it around here).

Players: 1 deck : 2-3 players (any more players and you should add a 2nd deck)
Objective: Collect all of the cards.
The Deal: Each player gets an equal portion of the deck, all cards are dealt out (make sure no jokers are in the deck). Cards must remain face-down in a pile for the player to draw from.
The Turn: The first player takes the top card from their face down pile and places it face up in the middle of the table (the object is for no one to see the card until your hand is away from it.. including you). Then each player follows in a counter-clockwise sequence.
Winning: As stated, the object is to get all the cards. There are a couple of ways to do that. We'll start with the first:
--Doubles: When 2 people in a row play the same card, any player may "slap" for it, meaning whoever's hand is on top of the doubles when the hands stop slapping gets to pick them up (ex: two queens are played in a row by player 1 and 2 and player 3 slaps the doubles and picks up the whole pile).
--Face Cards: Now, when you put down a face card, the next player has a certain amount of chances to put down another face card or whoever put down the last face card wins the pile. The number of chances are based on the face card:
Jack - 1 chance
Queen - 2 chances
King - 3 chances
Ace - 4 chances (Yes, I know it's not a face-card)
(ex: Player 2 plays a King.. Player 3 puts down a 2 and then a Queen.. so Player 4 now has 2 chances to get a face card or player 3 gets the pile).

---

That's basically all there is to it. Keep doing all of that until you have all the cards and you're set. There's other little house rules and such that people like to add sometimes, here's a couple:
- Sandwiches: This happens when the 2 cards in a row are seperated by another card, thus making a sandwich that you can slap on to pick up the pile. (ex: Player 1 lays down a 4.. player 2 lays down a queen.. player 3 lays down a 4.. player 1 spots the sandwich and slaps the pile and picks it up)

- Slap-ins: When you go out of the game (lose all of your cards), sometimes you are allowed to slap back in. Meaning, you basically just sit there and watch for doubles (or sandwiches if you're using them) and slap the pile to get back in the game.

------------

I've spent hours and hours playing 1 single game of that. Coming back from 1 card and winning.. it's a lot of fun. We don't use the sandwich rule around here often (honestly I don't think it's necessary and it just slows down this game of speed) and the game is usually too slow for slap-ins, but I've seen some crazy things in that game!!

I like Rummy, Crazy Eights (Consecutive), what Zythrix referred to as Egyptian Mad Screw, but I know as Egyptian Mad Slap, Egyptian War, or Egyptian Massacre, and a game called Big Two, which is apparently a really asian game.

Big Two is a little like rummy, only better.

Players: 2 - 4

Objective: To use up all your cards first.

The Deal: All the cards are dealt out. If there are only two players, the cards are dealt out into four piles, and the game can then be played twice without shuffling.

How to Play:
The person with the 3 of diamonds gets to start first, and play continues in a clockwise direction.
The first person to go can choose to play just the 3 of diamonds, or use the card in a combo, but the card must be played.
Play continues until no one else in the game can play something that trumps the cards last played.

Combos:
Doubles - two of the same card value.
Triples - three of the same card value. (optional)
Fives from lowest to highest:
- a run of five
- five cards from the same suit
- three of a kind and two of a kind
- four of a kind and one other
- a run of five cards from the same suit

The winner is the first person to run out of cards. Game play can continue, with the next person playing on the last card played by the winner, or if they are unable to beat that last card, with any card/combo of their choice.

Texas Hold 'Em....Blackjack.....and Let it Ride.....gotta love the casino. I was just up at Turningstone Casino & Resort the other weekend and I won some money on those games up there so clearly they are my favorite

the 2 games that i find i cant tear myself away from are spades and texas hold'em both games are good for playing with your friends, spades because it goes pretty quick and you play on teams, and texas hold'em because its just alot of fun to play with friends, especially when theres beer involved

My favorite card game is canasta. Its and old spanish game and it is so funnnnnnnnnnnnn. You can play it on yahoo or pogo.com. go check it out and learn how to play it. Trust me you will love it.
Canasta can be played with 2 players or 4 players (2 teams). 4-player Team Canasta is just like regular 2-player Canasta, except that both members of the team contribute to a shared meld pile.


Step by Step


1. The Deal and the Play

Canasta can be played with 2 players or 4 players (2 teams). It is played with 108 cards, including 4 jokers. When played with 2 players, 15 cards are dealt. When played with 4 players, 11 cards are dealt.

To pick up the discard pile, you must be able to add the top card to one of your existing melds or immediately lay it down in a meld. You can lay down as many melds as you like before discarding.

2. Special Cards

3's Have Special Powers

Laying a Black 3 on the discard pile prevents your opponent from taking the discard pile for 1 turn, since you can't meld with a black 3 from the discard pile.
3 - 4 Black 3's can only be melded when the player goes out, and no wilds can be melded with Black 3's
Red 3's are never melded or discarded, but are laid down one at a time for bonus points. If you get a red 3, it will move to your Meld Area automatically, and you will automatically receive another card to replace the Red 3 in your hand.
2's and Jokers are wild. They can form melds with any other card, but they cannot be melded all by themselves. If you "meld out" (discard all of your cards) before your opponent, win the hand!
3. Melds and Opening Melds

Your FIRST Opening meld must be 50 points or more, with no wilds. You can't take the discard pile until AFTER the opening meld. As the game progresses, the points required for an opening meld increases, according to the chart below:

Player's score Points required for Opening Meld
0 - 1495 50
1500 - 2995 90
3000 or more 120
Minus Score 15
4. Freezing the Pile

FREEZING the Discard Pile
When a wild card (joker or 2) is discarded, it is laid crosswise on the pile and FREEZES the pile. To UNFREEZE, the player must make an opening meld and match the top card in the pile with a natural pair.


5. Melding Out

If you have no cards left after a meld or a discard, you "meld out" if you have at least one Canasta. Both players receive points, but the values of all the cards remaining in the losing player's hand are subtracted from his point total.

Values of all melds are also tallied, and players go on to the next hand until one player reaches 5,000 points or more.

If all of the cards in the pile are taken before someone melds out, play ends after the player who took the last card completes his or her turn. The hand is scored as usual except that no one earns a bonus for going out.

Throughout the game, each player in turn dr
