Playing cards with friends—whether virtually or in person—can unleash your inner competitive spirit. It’s a bonding experience filled with laughter, witty banter, and maybe the occasional tantrum when someone plays that one card you were saving for a special moment. You know what I’m talking about!

The Classics: What Game Should We Play?

Ah, the classics never go out of style! Here are a few timeless games that will have you and your friends laughing until your sides hurt:

With everyone from the neighbor’s cat to your grandma getting on video calls, it’s time to embrace the digital shift! There are now countless apps and online platforms that allow you to play cards with friends no matter where you are.

Whether you’re on Zoom, Discord, or dedicated gaming apps, you can gather your buddies, chuckle at your inability to shuffle cards, and still enjoy the thrill of competition. It’s like being back in school, but this time there’s no homework and perhaps a glass (or two) of wine involved!
