Cool Card Games

Do you remember the games we used to play as teenagers? Well, I have brought you a couple of more games to freshen up your memories. Just check it out!

“Go Fish”
Ingredients you’ll need:
·     A deck of cards
How to play?
·         Five cards are distributed to each player if three to six players are involved. If there are only two players, seven cards are distributed to each.
·         All remaining cards are placed face downwards in a pile. This is called a pool of cards.
·         Choose a player to go first.
·         On each player's turn, ask any player for a specific card rank. For example: "Zara, kindly give me your 7s." You must already hold at least one card of the rank you ask for.
·         If the player you ask has any cards of the requested rank, she must give all of her cards of that rank to you. In the example, Zara would have to give you all of her 9s.
·         If you get the desired card, from the player you asked, you get another turn.
·         It starts again and you may ask any player for any rank you already hold, including the same one you just asked for. If the person has no cards you asked for, then they say, "Go fish."
·         You then take the top card from the pool. If you happen to take a card of the rank asked for, show it to the other players and your turn goes on. Otherwise, it is the next player's turn. You add that card taken from the pool to your hand.
·         NOTE: The "next player" is the one who said, "Go fish." When you collect a set of four cards of the same rank, immediately show that set to the other players and place the cards face down in front of yourself. That is a "match".
·         Go Fish continues until either someone has no cards left in their hand or the pool runs out.
·       The winner is the player who then has the maximum matches (sets of four).
Hey, do remember playing that cool never have I ever questions game? So much of memories!!
Let's remember some more.
“Trick or Treat card game”
This fun Halloween card game is another version of the traditional 'Old Maid' game which is perfect for playing at Halloween parties. Let’s check it out!
How to play
·         Choose a card as a “trick” card & shuffle it with other cards.
·         All the cards are distributed, face down. It doesn't matter if some players get more cards than others.
·         The players then sort their cards, keeping them hidden from all other players. Anyone holding pairs of matching cards, with the same picture, should put them down face up. If anyone has three matching cards, he only puts down one pair and keeps the spare card. If anyone has four matching cards, he puts down two pairs.
·         The players then fan their cards in his hand so he can see them all, although he keeps them hidden from the other players. He offers them to the player on his left, who cannot see them.
·         The player takes a random card from the fan. If the card he picks matches he already has, he puts down the pair. If not, he keeps it in his hand. Then, he, in turn, fans his cards and offers them to the other player and so on.
·         This continues until all the cards have been put down in pairs, except the 'Trick' card, which is left alone and cannot be paired. The person left holding this card has been tricked, and loses the game.

Now if you are old enough & have a partner, then you can play never have I ever romantic questions. You know this will let you know more about your partner's secrets!!
