When ready, flip the four cards in the center over, and play begins. James Bond is played at a fast pace with no turns very much like Speed.
Players may only look at one pile of four at a time, and may only exchange one card at a time with those in the center.
Using their memory of which pile contains which cards, play consists of continually exchanging cards from the middle to your piles until you collect four of a kind into that pile.
Once you collect four of a kind, you may then flip the entire pile face-up. This sounds simple enough, yet your opponent may be collecting the cards you place in the center, or placing cards they need in the center as you collect them just as quickly. Start by dealing each player 5 cards face-down, then place the remainder in the middle of the table to form a stockpile. The dealer then turns up the top card of the stockpile shuffle any eights back in if they are turned up, then turn up a new card.
Players may look at their cards now. The goal of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all of their cards. Play goes in clockwise order. Each player must place a card that either match the card turned up by its value or its suit. For example, if a ten of spades is turned up, you may play any ten or any spade.
The next player follows suit and so on. In the event a player cannot play any card from their hand, they must pick cards from the stockpile until they find one they can play. When someone plays an eight, it fills in for any card that may have been played and the player must specify which suit of eight they are playing for purposes of the player playing after them.
Once someone has run through their hand and won the game, they collect points from their opponent depending on what is leftover in their hand. Each eight card is worth 50 points, each King, Queen, Jack or Ten is worth 10 points, and all other cards are worth their face value Aces are low and equal to 1 point.
Make pairs from the deck of cards until one player is left with the Old Maid. That player loses the game. To make things easy, you can buy specially designed Old Maid card sets. This if often a great choice if you want to keep things simple so that you can introduce your kids to the game. Alternatively, you can simply use any standard 52 card deck, in which case your first task is to set things up so that you can have one unmatchable card in the deck.
Each player looks through their cards without revealing them to the other person and removes any pairs. They take one card from their opponent without seeing what it is, and bring into their own hand. If that card creates a pair, they lay that pair face-up on the table and it is removed from the game.

Sometimes known as Trash, this straight-forward game sees two players race to line up their cards in a set sequence from One player is designated as the dealer. They shuffle the cards and deal 10 cards to each player.
Each player places their cards facedown on the table in two rows of five, with the remaining cards forming a neat pile to the side. The game begins with one player drawing a card from the top of the pile and places it, face-up in the appropriate position among their two rows of cards depending on its numerical value. For example, a player originally draws a 2 of Clubs from the pile, so they place that card face-up in the second position in their row of cards, then pick up the face-down card that originally sat in that position, revealing that card to be an 8 of diamonds.
They put that card down in the 8th position, pick up the 8th face-down card which turns out to be a 4, places that card in the 4th position, and so on. In this game, Aces are 1 and kings are a wildcard,s which means they can be used to represent any number. This means that if you draw a Queen or Joker, you simply discard it and end your turn.
That 3 of hearts is then added to the garbage along with any Queens or Jokers. When the next player takes their turn, they can either draw from the remaining deck or sift through the garbage to find a card they need. Seriously, how have we made it this far into a guide about the best two-player card games without mentioning Go Fish?
If you really want to make the game appealing to your young ones, a purpose-made card set like this playfully-designed Go Fish set may do just the trick. To begin, each player is dealt seven cards, with the remaining cards scattered across the middle of the table between them. Both players then go through their hands and match up as many cards as they can.
For example, a player with multiple threes would put them together. The aim of the game is to make as many four-of-a-kind matches as you can so four threes, four kings, etc. Each card played other than an eight must match the card showing on the starter pile, either in suit or in denomination. If unable to play, cards are drawn from the top of the stock until a play is possible, or until the stock is exhausted. If unable to play when the stock is exhausted, the player must pass. All eights are wild!
That is, an eight may be played at any time in turn, and the player need only specify a suit for it but never a number. The next player must play either a card of the specified suit or an eight. Does 1 player have to keep picking up from the stock until he gets the right suit or just pick up 1 card and then the other persons turn? You are free to make the rules for those and assign which card does what. The Eights stay constant though.

The player then flips over the face down card that was just replaced. If it can replace a face down card, then the player can do so. The one exception is with a king, since kings are treated as wild cards and can be used to replace a card in any spot.
The next player can either draw from the deck or dig through the trash pile to select a card on their turn. The turns go back and forth like this until one player has turned all 10 of their cards face up in the correct sequential order. At this point, Round 1 ends and Round 2 begins. In Round 2, the winning player goes first, but is only allowed to use nine cards. This game ends when one of the players gets down to one card on the playing field and wins that round. This is a great game for people who like slower-paced play, but still want a strategy game that stretches their brains.
Family card games don't have to be boring. Our favorites are easy enough for kids to play, but challenging enough for adults to have fun, too! The two person card games listed below are great for people of all ages, which make them great family games!
Players win the game Memory, which is sometimes called Concentration, by matching all of the cards in play into sets of two. Memory is a great game for a parent or older sibling to play with younger kids to help them practice their numbers and memorization.
To set up a game of Memory, the players should take an entire deck of cards and lay them out facedown in a grid-like pattern on a table or the floor. Once the cards have been set up, the players take turns flipping over two cards at a time with the goal of finding a match.
When a player makes a match, they keep both of those cards. If the player did not find a match, they return the two cards to their original positions, facedown. Game play continues like this in a clockwise rotation until all of the cards have been matched. The player who collects the most matches wins the game. Crazy Eights is a two person card game that is easy enough for young kids to play and complex enough to keep older kids or adults having fun too.
T he goal of this game is to be the first person to get rid of all of the cards in your hand. To play Crazy Eights with two people, the dealer deals five cards to each player.
This card is the starter. The player who did not deal begins play by placing one card face up on top of the starter pile. Each card played must match the card showing on the starter pile, either in suit or denomination. For instance, if a Jack of diamonds is the top card on the starter pile, either a Jack in any suit or a diamond of any kind may be played on top of it. If the starter card was a five of hearts, on the other hand, a player could play another five card or another diamond of any number on top of it.
That means you could end up drawing one card or, well, a lot more depending on your luck! If the stock runs out, the player must pass their turn.
The next player must play a card of the specified suit or an eight. The player who plays all the cards in their hand first wins the game. In Kings in the Corner, players try to get rid of all of their cards using a solitaire-like formation. In this game using a 52 card deck, Kings are high and Aces are low.
The dealer deals 10 cards to each player. You can check out the video above for more info on how to set up the game. When the balance is set up, the non-dealer starts play by drawing a card from the stock and checking to see where it might be played on the board.
Cards may be played by laying a card of lower value and opposite suit over a card of higher value a black 10 on a red Jack, a red five on a black six, etc. If a player has a King that can be played, that player can lay the King faceup in one of the corners around the balance.
Players can then play off of the King like usual, except they must add cards in descending order. That means if you have a red King in the corner, the next play would have to be a black Queen, and so on. Keep in mind that Kings are the only cards that can be played in a corner, so use them wisely! If there is a possibility to play an entire pile of cards atop another pile, a player can make that move, then start a new pile in the open space created with a card of any number or suit.
So for example, say one of the original balance cards was a red Jack. If a black Queen opens up in a corner like in the previous example , a player can take that whole stack of cards and move it on top of the King in the corner. The player can then start a new pile with a card of their choosing in the open slot. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins the round. At the end of each round, players score 10 points for each King left in their hand, and one point for each other card left.
The game is played until one player scores 25 points, and the player with the lower score wins the game. The purpose of War is to collect all of the cards in a deck by playing the highest card in a series of faceoffs with another player. War is an easy game for young children to play, but is fun for kids ages five and older. To play War, start by having one player deal out all of the cards in a standard 52 card deck so that each player has 26 cards.
Each player must keep their 26 cards in a pile without looking at them. When all of the cards have been dealt, game play begins with each player turning over the top card from their respective piles simultaneously. The player who turns over the highest card wins the round and collects both cards aces are highest, and twos are lowest.
The players continue turning over cards at the same time in this manner until both players turn over a card of the same value like two fours or two queens, for instance. When this occurs, the players enter into a war. To do this, each player takes three cards from their pile and places them facedown on the table. They then turn a fourth card face up. The player whose card is the highest collects all ten cards from the war and places them at the bottom of their pile.
In the event that the two cards flipped over during the war phase match, players repeat the war sequence until someone wins. If you are, then we recommend you check out our short article about the history of Uno. In that article, you will find that Crazy Eight, in fact, is the forerunner to Uno!
In other words, it makes a lot of sense to explore the game that made Uno what it is today. That is why it might not come as a surprise that if you have played Uno, the Crazy Eights rules will be very familiar to you. You will find the Crazy Eights rules and everything you need to know to start playing! There are several different ways you can play the Crazy Eights card game, and just like with Uno you can add your own house rules.
We will explore two versions, a simple version, and the more advanced version. The advanced version of the game has a couple of additional rules but is not that hard to grasp and is very similar to the Uno rules. But before we explore these versions, lets start by looking at the basics, which are the same for both games. You need to be at least two players to play, but you can play up to five players with one deck of cards.
If you are more than five players playing, it is necessary to add another deck of cards. You can start by removing the jokers from the deck. These are not used in the basic game but are excellent cards if you want to add some house rules to the game.
Just like Uno your goal is to be the first player to get rid of all the cards in your hand. The player that does this wins the round. If you are keeping score you sum up the value of the cards on the rest of the players hands after each round. More about scoring in a bit.
Start by dealing five cards each, face down. If you are two players playing you can deal seven cards each. The rest of the cards should be placed face down in a draw-pile on the table. This is where you will draw your cards.
Take the top card from the draw-pile, turn it around and place it next to the draw-pile. This is the discard pile and for all of you Uno-veterans out there this setup should be very familiar. If the first card drawn is an Eight you should return it to the middle of the deck and draw another card.
As the name suggest the Eights have a key role to play but more about the special cards in a second. With each player holding cards at hand, a draw pile and a discard pile you are ready to start playing!
The player to the left of the dealer starts the game by placing a matching card on the discard pile. The game continues clockwise, and each player must play a card, or if no card is matching, draw up to three cards from the draw pile. Example 1: If the card on the discard pile is the Queen of Hearts, the next player can play:.
Example 2: If the card on the discard pile is an eight of spades and the player that played the card nominates another suit, a Diamond, you can either play another eight and change suit again or keep the same suit or any diamond card. Note that the Eight suit does not matter; what matters is the suit nominated by the player. Draw a card until you get a card you can play. If no one of the first three cards is playable you have to pass your turn.
