What is your favorite card game?
This question is so simple that I’m surprised that no identical question has been asked before.
What is your favorite card game that uses the standard 52/54 card deck (or multiple such decks)? Why do you like the game? As an extended question, do you have any favorites that do not use the standard deck?
One of my favorites is Egyptian Ratscrew, a more complicated version of beggar-my-neighbor + slapjack. The general idea is that for every face card (JQKA) laid down, the next person has a certain number of tries to lay down another face card. If he is unable to do so, the previous player (the one that laid down the recent face card) takes the entire stack. When certain combinations of cards are laid down on the stack, the first person to slap the stack gets to take the stack. A player wins by accumulating all of the cards.
I like this game becuase it can be played with ridiculous speed, with several cards played per second. Even at this speed, games can go on for quite a while.
