    New to cards?

    Start with Crazy Eights: five minutes to learn, and it works for two to five players. Then try Hearts or Rummy.

    What you need

    One standard 52-card deck covers most games. Our house deck is Bicycle Standard; a few games need two decks.

    Dice games need no deck and no setup: five or six dice and a place to roll them.
