You can't get much more traditional than card games. What are your favorite card games to play with a standard-ish deck of cards? Tarot/tarock decks count, as do games that require multiple decks to be played
Euchre and durak are my favorite games to play with a group, and strohmann-tarock is my favorite two player game
has anyone played bao huang? it seems really neat, but it requires a lot of cards and I don't know if I could convince my family to give it a shot

This does look neat. Five player games are handy. Needs a specific deck though, which is kind of a bummer.
Durak is dope, particularity the asymmetrical attack/defence.
My group plays a lot of durak, and hearts if there's four of us. Enough of us are good enough at counting cards and shooting the moon that it gets really neat.
Idiot can be fun too. Its got some Candy Land at the end, but that helps keep it light.
It's not exactly exotic, but back in senior year in high school we bunked off for hours on end playing Castle, or shithead as it was colloquially known.
I haven't played a proper card game in years, but I still remember how to play.

does your group enjoy cancellation hearts? that's how we play at family gatherings and it's a nice way to mix things up

are you both talking about this shithead, or are you talking about different games?

also it doesn't matter that it's not super exotic. I'd be interested if someone said their two favorite games were bullshit and texas hold em
I actually have a distinct aversion to card games. There's just something about them that I can't put my finger on that makes me not like them.
It might be my general aversion towards gambling creeping in, but I just don't find card games enjoyable.

it was that shithead, with pretty much the rules listed there.
