How to Play 9 Classic Card Games — Deck & Table

All games

Cambio

also called Cabo, Pablo

Lowest hand wins — but you only ever saw two of your four cards.
2–6 players 10–20 min Easy Deck only
Gin Rummy

also called Gin, Rummy (2-player)

Two players, ten cards each, and one long argument with the discard pile.
2 players 15–30 min Strategic Deck only
Palace

also called Shithead, Karma

Get rid of every card. Three of them are face down and you have no idea what they are.
2–6 players 10–20 min Easy Deck only
Hearts

also called Black Lady, Black Maria

A trick-taking game you win by losing. Avoid the hearts. Really avoid the Queen of Spades.
3–5 players 25–40 min Strategic Deck only
President

also called Scum, Kings and Assholes

Shed your cards, climb the social ladder, and make last place hand over their best card.
4–7 players 20–40 min Easy Deck only
Spades

also called Call Bridge

Bid what you think you can take, then take exactly that. Greed is punished twice.
4 players 30–45 min Strategic Deck only
Crazy Eights

also called Eights, Switch

Match the suit or the rank. Eights are wild, and everyone always argues about the extras.
2–8 players 10–20 min Easy Deck only
Golf

also called Six-Card Golf, Polish Polka

Nine rounds, lowest score wins. Kings are free and twos are better than free.
2–4 players 20–30 min Easy Deck only
Cheat

also called BS, Bullshit

Everything is played face down, so nothing you are told is necessarily true.
3–8 players 15–25 min Easy Deck only
