The weather has been pretty yuck this week as I've previously mentioned. And many nights the Pants Monkey and I just zone out to TV shows after dinner (or sometimes even while we're eating dinner - eek). Lately though, we've been trying to break that habit and do more things together since things will be changing in a big way in a matter of months. So last night we decided to play cards for a half hour instead of watching TV.
The only problem is our card repertoire is somewhat small. There aren't that many two player games to begin with and the few we do know we get bored with after awhile. I love cribbage, but sometimes I need a break or I'm making 15's in my sleep. Last night, the Pants Monkey found the rules for 10 Card Rummy. So we played that. And it was a lot of fun! We've played 5 card and 7 card Rummy before, but the rules are a little different for 10 card and also you are able to keep score too, so that also makes it more interesting. Of course, I ended up pretty much winning which always makes it more fun too, not going to lie about that!

We eventually had to stop because it was getting late, but we really enjoyed ourselves! We're going to try and make this a habit. And if summer ever gets here, we'll move our card games out to our deck at night as long as the bugs don't bite!
Do you like to play cards? Anyone have any other good two player games they'd recommend?
