Many of the various card games circulating around the world are similar in style, context and regulatory content. Whether it is Russia, China, India or the West, the general games stay the same, only the names differ. Out of these well-known games, you will find a tiny list of the most arduous and the most effortless ones to become well versed in.

Simple Games to Learn
1) Go Fish:
Go Fish is the simplest of all games to learn. Each player is dealt 5 cards. A player may ask any player if they have a certain number. An example would be “Do u have any fives?” if the player asked has any fives he must give them all to the player who asked for them. The person asking for a card must have at least one in their hand. A person may only ask for a card if they posses one in their hand. If the person questioned does not have the card the asker must draw a card from the deck. If they draw the desired card they get to go again, if not their turn is up and the next person goes. The object of go fish is to get rid of all your cards first.

2) Catching the Cheater:
Maybe you might know of this game in a different name such as "Liar" or "Honesty is Not the Best Policy", but the method of playing is similar. The winner is the player who has managed to cheat the rest more than they succeeded in defrauding the rest. There are no rules but the game proceeds like so: depending on the number of players, anywhere between seven to thirteen cards are handed out and one is opened in the middle. Then, moving clockwise, each player announces what he is laying down. The others can catch him (if he lied), but whosoever is caught, must pick up all the cards that have been laid down on the playing desk.

3) Colour Scramble:
The colours are the issue in this pushover entertainment. Ranked so: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, the object is to win over all the individual cards of one of the suits. You can do this by simply asking the player next to you. The trick in this game is to pick the one colour that you want, while others try and block your play. While one could us advance strategy, it is not required.

4) Throw Down:
Here, the object is to get the full set of a particular number in your hand and then to throw the cards down. As soon as this happens, all the players must throw down their cards too. The loser is the one who is last. The number of cards to play with must match the number of players. If there are six players, remove all cards lower than nine so that you will have twenty four cards that make up six sets.

List of Most Difficult Games to Learn
1) Bridge:
An old but still popular game, here, you partner with someone and decide before playing how many hands you will win. The complexity of bridge lies not in the rules, which are relatively easy to pick up, but in the intricate game plans and maneuvers one has to master to play well.

2) Poker:
The complexity of this game is two-bound. First you have to learn the different rank of hands and then you have to try and pick up the different rules according to the specific variation of poker that you are playing.

3) Tens Wins:
Requiring an even number of participants because they need to be paired up, the goal for each team is to win as many tens as they can. At first this does not seem laborious, but once you start playing, it gets too tiresome. You have a trump card that conquers all other cards except the exact number of it of a different colour, but this too can be trumped with another colour. In addition, you can use higher cards to create decoys by placing them facing down and declaring them as a ten of a certain colour.
