Rules to Family Card Games

Family card games allow you to connect with your family and help give kids a competitive spirit. The great thing about playing card games is that the rules are normally very easy for younger kids to understand, while at the same time fun for everyone to enjoy.


So, let’s get started. There are literally thousands of games that can be made with the standard 52 card deck. All you have to do is find one or two that your family will enjoy. The standard Slap Jack and go fish always give off a good time for all ages.

If you have older kids, you may also want to play more strategic games such as Jin rummy and poker to help build some brain power.

Below we have listed the rules to family card games that have lasted the ages and helped bring fun into the household. So next time you have a game night you can break out the playing cards, turn off the TV and have some good old fashion fun.
