Entertainment through cardboard and then later plastic cards soared up since the beginning of the Seventeenth Century and until the late Nineteenth Century. During the twentieth century, its popularity diminished somewhat but then it picked up again during the twenty-first century. In the following article, we will go over some of the more simple and complex games invented and about the degree of learning needed to pick these up.

Simple Games to Learn
1) Go Fish:
Go Fish is the simplest of all games to learn. Each player is dealt 5 cards. A player may ask any player if they have a certain number. An example would be “Do u have any fives?” if the player asked has any fives he must give them all to the player who asked for them. The person asking for a card must have at least one in their hand. A person may only ask for a card if they posses one in their hand. If the person questioned does not have the card the asker must draw a card from the deck. If they draw the desired card they get to go again, if not their turn is up and the next person goes. The object of go fish is to get rid of all your cards first.

2) Who Lies Best?
Like to cheat and lie? Then, this card game will suit you fine because only the best liar wins. Honest? Pick another game for you will lose horribly here. To win, you must declare that you have a set of cards or a single one and then lay it down on the table. Either of the players can challenge you, and if they are right, you have to keep all the cards that have been placed down on the table. If they were wrong, they must do the same.

3) Colour Scramble:
The colours are the issue in this pushover entertainment. Ranked so: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, the object is to win over all the individual cards of one of the suits. You can do this by simply asking the player next to you. The trick in this game is to pick the one colour that you want, while others try and block your play. While one could us advance strategy, it is not required.

4) Throw Down:
Here, the object is to get the full set of a particular number in your hand and then to throw the cards down. As soon as this happens, all the players must throw down their cards too. The loser is the one who is last. The number of cards to play with must match the number of players. If there are six players, remove all cards lower than nine so that you will have twenty four cards that make up six sets.

List of Most Difficult Games to Learn
1) Mandrake:
With extensive rules intertwined and conditioned to match different circumstances, Mandrake requires intense concentration as well as a highly tuned strategic outlook. All the cards are handed out, and the person with the 2 of Clubs starts. So far it is simple, but now it gets complex. The next player can either place an ace or a three, but these must be either of a different colour or if of the same colour then it must be accompanied by a trump card determined only for that round. The others can use this card or override it by crossing it with two Kings or a Queen and a Jack. There are many more rules, too many too mention here, so just pass over this game if anyone ever suggest teaching it to you.

2) Dragon Poker:
Dragon Poker is not totally unlike poker. Any of the different variations of poker can be used as the base for the game, but the general rules are very different. There are no official rules for dragon poker, they must be thought up and written down by the group of people you are playing with, and it is the duty of each player to memorize the rules, if you forget a rule it goes against you and if someone else does not remember a rule that can hurt you, do not worry you do not have to remind them. The best games have the most rules. An example of a rule can be if the date ends in an odd number and the dealer is wearing a shirt that the color of the shits spelling is an even number, then each player must pay the dealer 100 dollars. This rule can only be used once and whoever is the first to call out the rule during their deal gets it.

3) Baccarat:
Just like in poker, you have to study and memorize the value of certain cards such as that tens and face cards (Jack to King including Ace) are zero. In addition, you need to learn specific rules such as that if you get an eight or nine no more cards are dealt. To conclude, this game is not for beginners.
