Super Family Fun Card Games and more ...


SUPER FUN FAMILY CARD GAMES by Corinne Schmitt is a great resource in these stay at home times. Of course, there are online sites, like Bicycle Cards that offer rules and suggestions, but this book contains 75 games for all ages – categorized by skill level (easy, medium or hard) and whether they are best for two or more players, two players, or just one person. Need a refresher on some old family favorites?  Classics like Go Fish, Slapjack and Crazy Eights are included and so are Kings in the Corner, 99, Canasta and Euchre.  There are plenty of new (to me, at least) games like Pepper, Guess My Number, and Emperor Solitaire as well. Enjoy!!   

Oh, here’s one more idea: have you and your family tried Sporcle? We played it years ago and the site was recently recommended again by a student since it has an astounding variety of timed quizzes to play alone or virtually with friends. For example, can you name the 50 single syllable words that rhyme with cat – that (hint) is not as easy as it sounds!
