Go Fish!

• This simple game can be played with two to four players who each receive five cards. The remaining cards are placed face down on the table. The first player asks anyone in the game to give him all her cards of a specific rank. If the asked player has one or more cards of the requested rank, she has to surrender them to the first player, who continues to ask the other players. When a player does not have the requested rank, he says, "Go fish," and the person asking for the card draws the top card from the pile. The player who said "Go fish" takes over asking for cards from everyone. Whenever a player completes a set of four, he can remove them by placing the cards face down of him on the table. The game continues until the players run out of cards. The winner is the player with the most complete sets.
  
  

I Doubt It

• The aim of I Doubt It, also known as Cheat, is to be the first to lose all your cards. There are at least three players required who all are given five cards each. Each player in turn places one card face down on the table and states the rank. The players can lie about the rank, but are only obliged to show the card if someone calls out, "I Doubt It!" If a player has been caught in lying about the rank, he has to take up all the cards that have been placed on the table during the game so far. If the statement was true, the player who doubted has to take the pile. Players are allowed to pass, and the game is finished once a player gets rid of all his cards.
  
  

Memory

• This simple game requires a lot of space, a good memory, and at least two players. All the cards in the deck are placed in neat rows and columns face down on the table. The first player turns up two cards of his choice. If the two cards match by being of the same rank, the player removes them before taking another turn with another two cards. Whenever two cards do not form a pair, they are turned face down again in exactly the same position where they first were placed and the next player takes her turn. The player who has the most pairs after all cards have been taken is the winner.
  
  

Old Maid

• In this game, one queen is removed from the deck and the remaining 51 cards are dealt to between two and five players. It will not make any difference that some players have one card more than the others. The goal is to find and remove all pairs you have in your hand and place them face down in front of you. Once all pairs have been removed from everybody's hand, the first player selects a card from his player on the right without seeing it and tries to match it up with one of the cards in his hand. If he finds a matching card, he can discard the pair. If not, the card stays in his hand. Players who have three ranked cards in their hand can only discard two cards and must keep the third. The next player will then choose a card from the first player's hand. The game continues until all but one card is placed faced down on the table. The player who is stuck with the remaining queen is the "Old Maid" and loses.
