Hello everyone!

Today we are going to talk about some card games!

To your cards, 2 to 8 players from 4 years old for 10 to 20 minutes, to place your colors, pairs or higher values!

The battle

The goal is to win all the cards. The one who draws the strongest card from the deck is the dealer. He shuffles the cards, and makes his partner "cut" the deck. He distributes the cards one by one, starting with his partner, face down, until the last one.

The players gather their cards in a deck, face down. The other player turns over the top card of his deck (the one received last) on the table, then the dealer does the same. The one with the strongest card takes the 2 cards and puts them under his deck.

If both players play cards of the same value, it is said that there is a "battle". Each player must then cover their first card with a face-down card, then another face-up card.

The player who played the strongest card collects all the cards played and puts them under their deck, after having put them all back in the right direction. End of the game. The one who has collected all the cards is the winner

The lousy

From a deck of 52 cards, remove the jack of clubs. For the smallest, also remove the 7, 8, 9, 10. The goal is not to be the last player to have the lousy (the jack of spades) in their hands.

A draw is made to determine who starts. The first player deals all the cards, face down. Each player looks at their cards and makes associations 2 by 2, by value (5, jack, king, etc.) and by color (red or black).

For example, the king of spades + the king of clubs (black); the 9 of hearts and the 9 of diamonds (red). All the pairs thus formed are placed face up in the middle of the table.

When the players no longer have the possibility of making a pair, the first player presents his cards face down to the player on his left. The latter draws a card and, if he can, makes a new pair, which he places in the middle of the table. And so on for the following players.

Players who no longer have any cards no longer play. The player with the last card in hand (the jack of spades, the lousy one) has lost. The other players can give him a forfeit!

The liar

The aim of the game is to no longer have any cards in hand. A player distributes all the cards between the different players then places a card of his choice in the middle of the game, face up, announcing the suit (clubs, spades, etc.).

In turn, each player must place a card of the same suit on top, always face down and always announcing the suit. But he can lie: for example, announce "diamonds" and place a club card.

If he suspects a lie, the next player can say: "Liar!" and turn the card over to check. If the card was indeed of the requested suit, the accusing player collects, as a penalty, all the cards placed on the table. If the card was not of the suit, it is the player who lied who collects the cards.

The player who collected the pile of cards restarts the game by placing the card of the suit of his choice, face up, and so on... The first player to have no more cards wins. The game ends when a player collects all 52 cards. This player is the loser and the winner gives him a forfeit!

Have a good day and good game ;)

Good discovery and good game ;)

Hello everyone!

The game of ivory figures

Ancestor of puzzles such as tangram, it consisted of 14 small pieces of different shapes that had to be assembled to recreate shapes or models.

Children were taught to read with an identical game but with letters. The centons, ancestor of our current santons, were used for children's games, adults and offerings.

Have a good day and good game ;)
