Today is Playing Card Collection Day.
We have a “few” decks, some that have never been opened. I miss playing cards so much, but none of our card-playing friends visit. Another thing 2020-2021 took.
Who goes there? Please leave comments so (An Aries Knows)!

I love a good game of rummy
And by good, you mean vicious and you win.
I respect that.
I occasionally think about learning to play card games. I know my nan taught me and my brother some, but I can’t remember them now. I have little fantasies about hosting games nights with card and board games – no electronic equipment allowed!
I can still remember when I learned to play rummy, my first card game. My father had the patience of Job. But we played a lot of board games and cards when I was a kid, and same thing in college when friends got together (I STILL have the score from playing Scrabble with a friend in one of the rare games I won against him), then in post-college years, board games with friends, and same with moving to Houston–lots of card games.
They’ve been some of my happiest times, playing games with music in the background–no TV, and in the days before we all had a phone permanently in front of us. I never was much of a Monopoly player, but Clue, Chinese Checkers, Password, and Concentration as a kid, then Yahtzee, Boggle, Scrabble, Scattergories, Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, Backgammon, Uno, Cribbage (which I can’t remember; my brother taught me , and we haven’t played in a long time), and Parcheesi.
SO FUN!
I do think that every household should have a least one pack of cards (but preferably two or more).
