Re: Card games

I use to love playing the old card games with my kids SNAP, HAPPY FAMLIES, bring those back much more fun than computer games, what do you think folks

I didn't have many dedicated card games such as those, but spent many school lunchtimes playing Black Maria (one of the "Hearts" variants), "Crazy Eights" and "Niggles" (a whist variant) with an ordinary pack.

Card-based games did include "Penalty",
Penalty! | Board Game | BoardGameGeek
a football game and "Top Dividend", a football pools game.
Top dividend card game 1950s football pools on eBay (end time 11-Nov-09 12:02:36 GMT)

A personal favourite, for it's odd mechanics, remains
"Jailbreak"
Jailbreak | Board Game | BoardGameGeek

Re: Card games

My school mate used to play a game called "Skeeta" with his mam and dad and taught me how to play. It was great game but unfortunately I have forgotten how to play. I know it involved 2 packs of cards and was similiar to rummy. If anybody else knows this game I would very much appreciate it if they could furnish me with the rules so I can play it again. Cheers.

Re: Card games

My parents once got a few sets of cards printed to play certain games, such as Beggar My Neighbour, Donkey & Old Maid.

Re: Card games

I loved playing happy families and old maid with my mum and sister when I was little. Especially as my sister couldn't read and made up amusing names for the families.

My abiding memory of playing cards with my family is sitting in a tent in a field somewhere in bucketing rain enjoying a typical British summer holiday.
