Playing card games is a great way to spend time with friends and family. But if you're looking for something a little different, why not try playing a card game with 2 decks? Here are some fun options to consider:
Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is a classic card game that is easy to learn and fun to play. To start, shuffle two decks of cards together and deal each player eight cards. The objective is to be the first player to get rid of all of your cards by matching either the suit or the number of the card on top of the discard pile. If you can't make a match, you must draw a card from the deck. The game ends when one player has no cards left.
Canasta
Canasta is a rummy-style game that can be played with two to six players. To start, shuffle two decks of cards together and deal each player 11 cards. The objective is to score points by creating melds, which are sets of three or more cards of the same rank. You can also score points by creating canastas, which are melds of seven cards of the same rank. The game ends when one player reaches a certain point total.
Spades
Spades is a trick-taking game that is typically played with four players in two partnerships. To start, shuffle two decks of cards together and deal each player 13 cards. The objective is to win as many tricks as possible, with spades being the highest-ranking suit. Players must follow suit if possible, and the highest card of the suit led wins the trick. The game ends when one partnership reaches a certain point total.
Gin Rummy
Gin Rummy is a two-player game that involves creating melds and trying to score as many points as possible. To start, shuffle two decks of cards together and deal each player 10 cards. The objective is to create melds of three or more cards of the same rank or in sequence in the same suit. The game ends when one player reaches a certain point total or when the draw pile runs out.
Bridge
Bridge is a complex game that is typically played with four players in two partnerships. To start, shuffle two decks of cards together and deal each player 13 cards. The objective is to win as many tricks as possible, with the highest-ranking card of the suit led winning the trick. Players must communicate with their partner to determine the best strategy for winning tricks. The game ends when one partnership reaches a certain point total.
War
War is a simple game that can be played with two players. To start, shuffle two decks of cards together and deal half of the deck to each player. The objective is to win all of the cards by playing the highest-ranking card. If both players play cards of the same rank, a "war" ensues, with each player putting three cards face down and then playing another card face up. The winner takes all of the cards in the war. The game ends when one player has all of the cards.
