@TheGreatNico We played it with the added twist that hiding your cards in your surroundings/on your person without others noticing was a valid move. Getting caught was the same as playing a bullshit card.
@tweezak Ah, but which Solitaire? The classic here in the US is Klondike, but Hoyle lists a great many others as well. (I’m fond of Penguin, Eight Off, Tabby Cat, and several others.)

2 decks 104 cards! Great game on a long summer’s night! Grandma showed me how to play. I can’t remember the meld’s anymore. Wish I knew someone to play it with. Great memories though.
@RichSPK Find 2 other mehtizens, and let’s get a game going! I can’t believe that it wasn’t an option. Okay, I can. I live in the midwest, and still usually get 3 people excitedly asking the other people if anyone else knows…
Also, curious if the pedants didn’t list it because it doesn’t use the full deck, alas not “standard.”
If I could play one card game before I die, it would be euchre with friends.
I grew up with a family of seven people, and the deck was usually spread across numbers more like 10 to 12 on a holiday. It’s a simple premise, but the more was the absolute merrier.
As kids we loved “I doubt it” a game where you were supposed to cheat and not get caught. Used multiple decks of cards with a bunch of people, number of decks used adjusted accordingly.
You can absolutely do up and down the river with standard cards. We always play some. For some reason they all have rook decks which I assume is some… Baptist/Christian thing. Cause playing cards are bad…
meh writers drunk again??
@MrGoodGuy it’s St Paddy’s month
@MrGoodGuy Well, according to the dictionary: Noun: The unfermented or fermenting juice expressed from fruit, especially grapes.
@MrGoodGuy
Goes to show you can’t only rely on spellcheck.
@kittykat9180 @MrGoodGuy Proffreading is important
Some!
“bullshit”. Loved that game in school

My Fav card game is Cards Against Humanity 2nd is Exploding Kittens!
@mycya4me Not exactly “standard deck”, but yeah.
Solitaire

Nah, seriously, I love me some cribbage but I haven’t played in many years.
Mao, for particular values of fun.
Go Fish.
@heartny
How was that not an option.
On my phone, using a multi-solitaire-version app that allows Undo to a degree, Tabby Cat. I can win over 90% of them with Undo.
Live in person, I haven’t played in so long that I’d be an effective newb, but it would be Canasta.

@RichSPK this was going to be my answer too! Easy to spot the Midwesterners here!
Canasta, loved playing it with my Gran.
52 card pick up – as long as I’m the dealer.

@ragingredd AKA I want to put a crease in my cards, but I want it to be an interactive experience;)
Kings in the Corners - loved this as a kid!
Pshaw
my mom’s senior community plays 13 card bingo. It’s really easy for people with dementia to play.

We used to play Concentration as kids. My sister never missed. To this day I am convinced she has a photographic memory.
@tweezak Some people do …
