You should play Rook it is really fun maybe onetime when your down we can get four people to play. The Crew was probably my number 11 or 12. Thanks for watching and commenting.
So many games that could be classified as card games: Terraforming Mars, Race for the Galaxy, Codenames, Citadels, San Juan, etc.. I prefer to think of card games as games that use only cards with numbers. However, this would still include games like Lost Cities and Battle Line. Though I like both of those games, I just don’t think of them as “card” games, even though they definitely are. My favorite card game of all time is Spades. Love Spades! I love setting my opponents! I love giving low bidders overtricks so that when they reach 10, they go back 100 points. I love going Nil with the King of Spades and Making It! That is a rush! (And rarely attempted.) Next - Hearts! Choosing which cards to pass is essential to winning. And shooting the moon is a blast! I also like Stichen, Tichu, Bacon, Rook, Linko, Parade, Red 7, and many others. One of my favorite genres of games!
Absolutely there are many games that could be included especially if you look it up on BGG. I tried to keep it to games that just used cards for most of the game even if they had different mechanics. I also like Spades and Hearts. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Love Rook! Fond memories of playing this as a kid resparked my interest in games a few years ago, which led me into modern board games. I wish Hasbro would Kickstart a really high-quality Rook deck, because the cards in modern decks don’t seem as good as they were back when I was a kid.
Nice list. “Love Letter” is quite the design with so few cards. Though I have yet to win, I like it and enjoy whenever I do win a round. I’ll take whatever small victories I can. I’ve enjoyed “Scout”, “Coloretto” and “Ohanami” to name a few.
We always have a good time playing Love Letter I win maybe 50% of the time. I have not played Scout but heard good things, have not played the other two either. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Diamonds is a favorite and I like to use it for newer players since you can always do something no matter what card you play. Others we like are The Crew, Fluxx. Grew up playing Sheepshead and have good family memories as that was our childhood introduction to trick-taking games.
Diamonds is a great game for people who love trick taking. Fluxx was in the running for my top 10. Never heard of Sheepshead. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@calvinsgotgame8365 Sheepshead is very popular in WI where I grew up. Like Rook, there are several variations of how people play but it has it roots in Germany/Europe so I'm sure was brought over with the immigrants.
Bought Rook years ago, still haven't played it with anyone yet. Among my favorites are Fluxx (yes still), The Crew, and Take 5 (6 Nmmt).

I need to try some of those older classic card games. Some of my group’s favorite card games are Trio, Paperback, Twinkle Starship and Point Salad.
I enjoy paperback myself it is really good. Thanks for watching and commenting.

A trick-taking game that we really enjoy is Trumpet.
I had that game as well and did enjoy it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I have loved Rook for many years, I agree they should bring out a deluxe edition with linen finish cards. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Oh yes, I have to mention “Cribbage” as an oldie, but goodie, also.
