I seem to be hearing from a few of you that you might not be as familiar with that sort of card game as I had assumed. Which makes sense; the days that every family spent most of its free time in card play are long gone. And if War and Poker were the only examples I'd ever seen of a card game, I'm sure I'd have totally lost interest as well. Maybe what's needed is a little education. I think there's a lot of people who would find a lot of different games awfully compelling, especially once we get past Poker (Stud and Hold 'Em Poker don't actually, you'll notice, contain any card play; you don't do anything with the cards, you just issue a series of bets about the hand you've been dealt).
