Some of my earliest memories are of my elders sitting around the table, playing cards. Cribbage and poker were the mainstays. Poker is the first "grown-up" card game I ever learned.
Nowadays when it's cold or rainy outside and there are four or more adults around, I usually suggest Phase Ten.
What's your game?
