Recreation Which Card Games do you play?

I play Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh, What do you play?

 

Moved to Misc.

And yeah, I used to play Magic: The Gathering, but not anymore.

Well, let's see ...

Back in the day I played a little bit of Magic, but was more heavily into Overpower and Star Wars CCG. Got into Pokéemon for a bit.
Now I'm more about the old fashioned card games. I play Euchre, Cribbage and Poker, mostly. For poker I'm all about no-limit Texas Hold 'Em (the Cadillac of card games).

 

War and Go Fish. :anime:

Seriously, those are the only I ever play.

 

Just solitare. It's very addictive on my computer. :sweat:

 

I dabbled in M:tG a little bit, but I actually spent more time with the Pokemon TCG because I bought packs and resold the rares back when it first took off. XD That was one nice thing; back in the day, you could make a very solid Pokemon deck with nothing but cheap, nonfoil rare and commons. *chuckle* I tried Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I don't really have anyone to play it with, so I sold what I had. Same deal with Star Wars cards.

 

i did and still do M:TG. ive won a few tournaments with my deck...
i also spent huge amounts on pokemon...i think the grand total was about 3000 bucks...i really wish i hadnt now...cause i only made back about 1000 and now i have more than 100 foils that are just sitting there...*sighs* oh wel...i have a bunch of Yu-gi-oh which sit unused...as for other card games
i play poker...5 card stud...Cribbage...blackjack...a couple vietnamese versions of poker...nothing much else tho...

 

^_^, I play Magic the Gathering (I like it, its better I think), I play the YU-GI-OH one every now and again, I used to play that Harry Potter one with my Friends little sister, kept her happy good enougth for me ^_^. But I rather MTG more. I also play D&D every now and again, anyone play table top games like D&D?.

well, if you think about it, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and the such only last for a little while...Magic: The Gathering has been around since the early 80's and is still going strong...so...some games are better than others.

 

1995, according to Wizards of the Coast.
Speaking of Wizards, they are pretty much the money-making machines of the card game industry. It sometimes seems like they either develop or release everything big these days.

 

eh, oops ^_^x;;;;;; well got that one wrong

 

Used to. ^^ D&D (both the old-school second edition and 3rd Ed), a little of the Whitewolf games (Vampire: the Masquerade, mainly), a few other random RPG systems. Then, sadly, I moved away from my group. :/ Haven't been able to find a new one in the area I live in now.

And on the subject of M:tG having more staying power than Pokemon, YGO, etc - of course it does. Magic appeals to a broader audience, it has more complex rules and a wider variety of cards. From what I've seen, the kids who started out with Pokemon often graduated into playing M:tG when they were old enough to appreciate it. Besides, it's the only one of the games mentioned (besides "regular" card games and to some extent, the Star Wars TCG) that isn't primarily fad-based. Pokemon, Harry Potter, and YGO all rely mostly on fans of the original anime/book to get their initial player base, so as the fad dies down, so does the card game.

 

Just old card games for me... Solitaire & poker... strange thing is i dont know how to play poker when sober... can only remember when drunk... just like Queen songs :/

 

I would hardly call Hold 'Em a "regular" card game. For one thing, it's just about the only card game that's televised. For another, it's not enough to just play the cards. You have to play your opponent more than anything.
Of course, I'm probably just saying that because I'm obsessed.

 

also magic also appeals more because the market for them is more steady due to its popularity. many cards arent produced in small numbers resulting in a buying market that holds very steady...

 

If you can count it... apples to apples

 

Really?! I thought that was just some northern U.S. game. When i tellpeople, from out of the area, that i play Euchre they look at my like i am crazy and go "Whats that?". And most importantly. . . you spelled it right!!!!

I also play Egyptian Rat Screw. (for those of you not formilliar, similer to slap jack except more exciting). Poker, and STRIP poker. . ^_~ :anime: And. . . . . when i was in the second grade. . .pokemon. . .but that didnt last long. . .

 

Well, Americans don't play euchre right. See, there's several sets of rules:
1. British/Canadian. Standard rules. If you order your partner to pick up the card, you are playing that hand alone.
2. American. Same thing, but you don't have to go alone when ordering up your partner. Basically, because American euchre players aren't as hard-core as the rest of us.
3. Australian/New Zealand. I'm not sure the specifics, but I remember reading on a Hoyle site a while back that this third type does exist.
Actually, last semester there was a big euchre tournament here at WLU. I entered with a friend of mine, and we came very close to winning, but then we lost one of the final rounds.

 

Cool, now i feel Euchre educated. e.e I never knew all that. But i wouldnt say we dont play it right. We just play it differently. ^^
