Deck Know-How:

1. Standard deck: 52 cards, 4 suits (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs), 13 ranks (Ace high, then King, Queen, Jack, 10-2).
2. Shuffling & Dealing: Mix the cards well, then deal them face down to each player.

Easy Games to Get Hooked:

1. Rummy: Form sets (3+ of a kind) or runs (consecutive numbers in a suit). Discard and draw to create melds. Lowest unmatched points wins.
2. Slapjack: A fast-paced game! Race to slap a Jack after a ten is played. Most slapped Jacks wins!

1. Crazy Eights: Match the suit or value to discard. Play an eight to change the suit! Get rid of all your cards first to win.
2. Go Fish: Ask for specific cards to make pairs. Don't have it? Go Fish (draw a card) and hope for a match! Most pairs wins.
