No matter where I’m going, I always have a deck or two of playing cards in my carry on! We get asked ALL the time what we’re playing – both in the moment and if I share a snap on social media. Here are our favorites:


If your family has a favorite card game, I’d love to hear about it!

We like Quiddler, Word Spiel, and Five Crowns. We are also getting into Play Nine which is always interesting.
Thanks for sharing! We are always looking for fun games that are easy for everyone to learn and play.
We often play a slight variation of Hearts (discard any random extra cards, and just play clockwise), and 5 Crowns which I am sure could be adapted to regular decks of cards though we haven’t tried it yet.
Try Play Nine, it’s a golf based card game. We played it every day over lunch and evening at the beach with our 20 something’s!
