Creating a new card game can be as easy as taking an old card game and changing some of the rules. Just look at Hearts.

Hearts is a trick-taking card game for three to six players. It is best played with four players. The object of the game is to avoid taking Heart cards in tricks.

For each hand, the cards are dealt one at a time face-down around the circle as far as they will go equally. Extra cards are laid aside, unseen. The player with the Two of Clubs then becomes the first lead player.

The lead player lays down a card, and each player in turn moving clockwise around the circle lays down a card. Those cards must match the suit of the lead card if possible. The player playing the highest card in the suit that was lead takes the trick, and leads to the next trick. A Heart card cannot be lead until one has been played that does not match the lead card.

Heart cards taken in tricks each score a point. The player with lowest score when another player’s score reaches 100 wins the game.

New rules have been added over time to create new Hearts card games. A three card pass was added after the deal and before play. You pass three cards to a player, and a player passes three cards to you.  Read more... (507 words, estimated 2:02 mins reading time)

Creating games becomes more of a challenge when you try to create a game that youngsters can play.  And the younger the player, the bigger the challenge.

I was trying to think of a simple card game that my three year old grandson could play.  I was stumped.

Then, as a group of us sat and talked one Saturday afternoon in a friend’s living room, someone noticed the twelve coasters on the coffee table.  There were six sea designs on the coasters — fish and seahorses and waves — and each design was on a pair of coasters.  So someone asked my grandson to find the matching pairs, and he proceeded to do so.

It reminded me of the card game, Concentration.  And that gave me the seed of an idea for a simple card game for toddlers.

Concentration is mainly a memory game.  When you flip over a Seven, you try to remember where the Seven was that Sue flipped over five minutes ago.  But toddlers have not yet developed the necessary memory skills to do this.  So I decided that in my new game, the cards that are flipped face-up remain that way for the rest of the game.  You don’t have to memorize where the cards are located because they are always there for you to see.  Read more...
