Card Games To Pass The Time.  

Ever since I was a little kid I have played card games and my mother used to play poker with me on the nights I could not sleep,which always seemed to help me sleep and I do not know how,I also liked playing Rummy which was a fun game,and Go Fish was also very awesome lol,one of our friends taught me and my wife how to play Spades a long while back and it is a lot of fun,especially when you have teams since the goal is to get as many books as you possibly can even though three man Spades and two man Spades are also fun,our friend also taught us the game Pat which is where you try to get three pairs before your opponents do and that is a fun game and me and my wife and our friend used to play those card games all the time when our friend came over,but now we do not see him much,and we have gotten out of the habit of playing card games,I would definitely say that Spades is my favorite card game out of all the ones I learned because it is exciting and I do tend to get a bit addicted to it,and I will sit and play it on the computer from time to time when I am doing other things,so my questions are What is your favorite card game?Why is it your favorite?Where did you learn that card game?Who do you like playing the card game with?How Long have you known the card game?Does this card game have more than one name?Please share your opinions and experiences but only do so in a serious respectful manner,Happy Mylotting.
