Beggar My Neighbour is probably the best in my opinion.

I played this fairly recently. It's not the best game in the world, but it was quite a laugh.

Any card game can be played with two people :? Except for patience games I think.

Why do you ask?

The best way to introduce this game is to casually ask, "Fancy a game of strip poker? You strip - I'll poke ya !!" (best said to someone of the opposite sex of course :roll: )

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Ive played a game called Brag since i was about 6. Im not sure if that is the official name of the game, but thats what my grandad called it when he introduced me to the game. Its a great game for 2-5 players. I could attempt to write up an explanation, but it could be quite long.

Has anybody got a good reference to the rules of Crib? I've never played it in my life but would like to learn.

I was born with Multiple Personality Disorder. Luckily, they are all me, they just dont always get along...

wow. That was a blast from th epast. I haven't played spit for ages - that is a fun game - although it buggers up the cards pretty quickly if I remember...

Wow quite a few replies!!

Mandrake - Strip Poker - DENIED! I play "Cribb" loads and it's amazing! I really must learn "Blackjack" as it looks cool.

I've Never heard of "Beggar My Neighbour" or "Spit" so I'll look up the rules..The reason I ask is cos I find the majority of card games are best with 2+ players!

Another game which really is superb is "S h i t head" brilliant for two people and it's really quick fire!

Rob - My girlfriend won't play "Battles in Time" with me..
