For many years playing cards was just something old men did, in seedy gamming rooms, but recently cards have once again become a popular thing to do when sitting around with friends at home, in the coffee shop or in a casino. Here I have listed some of my favorite games. Some of the games are very easy and take only minutes to learn and some can be very difficult to learn and may take a lifetime to learn.

Snap Your Fingers, Soak Them Up:
1) Full and Complete Attack
Based on simple arithmetic, this game using all the 52 cards (including as many jokers as you wish), is one of the all time favorites of children. Neither does it need any strategy nor does it require any particular skill! Full and Complete Attack is generally the first game that children are taught because it not only improves their numerical skills, but adds enjoyment and action to this process.

2) Spit:
Spit is a game that has always reminded me of high speed Solitaire. The object is to get rid of all your cards as fast as you can. They way you do this is to split a deck of cards in half each player without looking at the cards sets up 6 piles the first pile has 5 cards with the top card turned face up to the last pile that has only 1 card face up.

The 6th pile remains face down and u may not look at those cards either. Each player using then flips over the top card on that pile and place it in the middle of the table, and then only using one hand as fast as you can u must place the cards in order. So if one of the cards is a 5 you can place a 4 or a 6 on top. The player who puts down all his cards first wins. When both players can not put down any cards another card gets flipped over from both players 6th pile.

3) Blackjack:
Each player gets one face-down card and one face-up. He can ask for another and so forth. The goal of the game is to reach a higher total than that of the dealer while the ultimate top is 21. All cards above ten are counted as ten and the ace can be used as one or as eleven.

4) Tossing Cards:
Another game for children, Tossing Cards causes a bundle of laughter and joy with each round you play. The method of playing is elementary. Place a hat or a bucket at a distance and divide all the cards. Then, start tossing a card into the bucket by turns. After each round, move the bucket further and further. Every time someone misses, they must perform an action agreed on by the rest of the players.

List of Most Difficult Games to Learn
1) Touch:
It took me more than a few hours to learn this game even though the basic structure is quite banal. The cards are arranged into two batches on either side and some are placed in the middle, others divided between you and another player. Then, each one begins (by turn) laying down a sequenced card (also by colour and also by number) that goes from top to bottom. Another aspect of touch is that even though it’s a kind of variation of Patience, here you must add cards to the aces in the middle. If you do not, you lose a turn.

2) Pass the Anchor:
The Anchor stands for the Ace of Clubs, and the object here is to complete the entire suit from Ace to King. One can block progress by using a different colour and to take this out someone has to buy it with other cards. The winner is that player with the King. This is kind of like taking part in a market except that you have to hand over what you have but this is considered a turn as well. Towards the end of the game, it becomes tedious, and it would never end if not for the rule that you cannot buy twice.

3) Tens Wins:
Requiring an even number of participants because they need to be paired up, the goal for each team is to win as many tens as they can. At first this does not seem laborious, but once you start playing, it gets too tiresome. You have a trump card that conquers all other cards except the exact number of it of a different colour, but this too can be trumped with another colour. In addition, you can use higher cards to create decoys by placing them facing down and declaring them as a ten of a certain colour.
