i'd assume that play deprivation is also a major cause of mental problems in adults. me personally i just recently discovered the joy of games feasible with one or two standard decks of cards. current selection: - skat - gin rummy - german whist - spite and malice i found playing cards to be an amazing catalyst and temporary distraction while having a drink with a friend. it relieves the pressure of having to talk more or less nonstop. and shifting attention to the game away from conversation tends to engage the subconscious producing new interesting subjects to discuss. similar to that effect of ideas popping up during having a shower. any standard card game enthusiasts here? what's your game of choice?
