Hi everyone,

Was wondering if anybody has any easy card games for our MSU. We seem to play only one game called 'lucky dog' which is extremely easy and they love it but would like to introduce maybe one or two others that are very simple but adult like. If that makes sense.

Any ideas most welcome

TIA

War is also a good idea

21 is an easy to play game

Card Bingo is a sure hit with my Residents. 5 cards each player face up in a row, then you ( the caller) uses another deck to call out the number and suit. whoever has the same card as you, turns the card facedown. the game continues this way until a player has all 5 card face down....BINGO!

Thank you Actionmarguerite

You can use less cards if five is too much

It is a great idea though
