Spending time together as a family in today's fast-paced world is quite invaluable. With all the technology at our fingertips and the amount of entertainment there is easy access to, getting the family together to do something old-school can be a chore. However, these card games for families are guaranteed to be fun and have the kids begging for more family time.
Go Fish is a classic game with cards that everyone is sure to enjoy. It is best played with three to six players. If there are less than four players, each player is dealt seven cards. However, for more than four players, each player gets five cards.
Place the rest of the cards into the 'pond' pile. If you or any other player doesn't get the card they need when it's their turn, this is the pile they have to draw from during the game. Everyone gets a chance to ask someone else for a specific card. If they have it, then they must hand it over. If they don't, then they tell the person asking, 'Go Fish!' and they must go in the pile. Whoever ends up with the most sets of four when the pile is done wins.
Another easy but fun card game is Memory. Other names for this game are Concentration and Pairs. As all names suggest, players must take turns to try and picking matching pairs of cards. The cards are placed face down in a random order.
If they get a pair, then they get to keep it and they get another turn. If they don't, they must return the two cards back to their original position and the next person plays. Whoever has the most pairs is the winner.
UNO is a very fun game for up to ten players. There are more than enough cards in this deck! UNO cards are unlike a regular deck of cards, as there are different signs as well as numbers and colors on each card. Each player is dealt seven cards and the rest are placed in the middle in a pile. One of the cards is turned over from the pile to start the game.
Each player has to place a corresponding number or color on top of the starting play. If the player has nothing to use, they can take from the pile and it is the next player's turn. A player can also use one of the symbol cards to switch up the order of play or to change the color of play. After a few rounds, this becomes easy to understand but also very strategic and makes for a lot of fun.
These kinds of games are just a few of many that can help the family spend quality time together. It is also a great way to show the children of today how much there is to be had without remote controls, keyboards or joysticks. They are also perfect to play on long trips or when the lights go out and it's necessary to pass the time away!
