Cards will never go out of style

When we think of adults playing cards, we often think of Poker, Blackjack or an array of casino-style games in smoke filled rooms, with half glasses of liquor on the side. But the card games we’ve come to know and love as kids, truly still stands the test of times as adults.

The CBC recently drafted a list of card games perfect for two. Resurfacing classics like Solitaire, the game that one can easily designate hours of their life to completing and restarting, that guarantees a feeling of satisfaction once won against your opponent [the deck] and of course in more recent years, also the computer. 

For your next girl’s night, consider bringing a 52 deck to entertain. In the CBC, Cribbage and Rummy were named as their top choices, but at Curated by Britt, Uno, Crazy 8 Countdown, and Speed take our top spots. Even speciality girls' night cards even count, adding some truth or dare into the mix. 

Acting both as a stress relief agent and a mentally stimulating activity, cards is the perfect way to entertain company, reduce awkward silences at your gathering and allow your guests an opportunity to get to know one another. So at your next girl’s night bring a deck of cards, sit back and let the nostalgia of childhood laughter, innocence and plain old luck take over for a night of connection and fun.
