Favourite card game

Gin Rummy.

Quite like Three Card Brag too.

To be honest I haven't played a card game for ages. Don't know why I'm even asking.

Newmarket.
Used to play it with the grandparents/family at Christmas etc. when I was young.
Just introduced my own kids to it.

Shuffling the deck: when you throw the cards round the room and leave them for someone else to pick up. My kids have spent years trying to teach me, but I just can't get the hang of it.

Is that the one with the 4 kings in the middle of the table? If so, I'll vote for that one too.

That's a brilliant game. One of my favourites. We played with pennies and in the course of the evening either won about 50p or lost, but it was just great fun.

Canasta is another good one.

When I was using Windows I used to play Solitaire a lot. It was the only thing I missed when I moved to Mac but I managed to download a Solitaire game for Mac.
