In this thread, we try to determine the best game of cards, or at least outrule the ones that most definitely are not.
Do you still play, or do you just fling that white piece of plastic in front of the TV, thinking it by some invisible magic would change the outcome of the programming? Humbug!
To open up the discussion nicely, I shall share an observation I have made when traveling the provinces. It seems that most people will learn only one game and a one game only early in their adolescence and refuse everything else later on. For women, this usually is some boring shedding game of mao family. For men, there is little more variation, but regretfully only a little, either it is the said basic shedding game, or poker or some four player old men partnership trick taking game with needlessly complex bidding for exchanging information amongst the partners, which mind you, is the most useless in the real games of three game tournament with changing partnership to determine the winner. This last group is also highly probably to be homosexual and having been raised by their grandparents instead of attending to a proper daycare where they would learn social interaction and proper gender roles.
My other big observation of cards is, that while the preferred social game of the given area is very singular and constant, the gambling game varies a bit more, which explains why the men are slightly more open to new games that the wivery. This at least used to be the case before that dreadful hold-em poker took the whole table.
Lastly, to further aide the course of the speak, I shall mention that my preference for the social game currently is pedro with a rule that only the trumps are played. The rules are simple enough to teach for a complete and slightly drunken newbie (try explaining them setback) and the game is fast enough not to take the whole eveing to lose, like some rummies do. When only 14 cards are in play, you always play against the opponent, not the cards.
