Two to ace

two of spades ace of diamonds
Card Game: Two to ace

1) Shuffle a standard deck of 52 cards.
2) Each player takes a card from the deck to see who goes first. The highest card goes first. Ace is the highest card. The rest of the order is decided by highest cards. If a tie, both players draw another card from deck.
3) This game requires a stopwatch or a clock with seconds on it for more accurate timing.
4) The goal is to find one each of cards 2 to ace and lay them out in a horizontal line face up in front of you. The cards must be in order from 2 to ace. The player that does this the quickest wins the game.
5) The cards can be any color. A total of 13 cards must be found. Time starts as soon as player starts looking through deck and ends when player puts down the ace.
6) The deck of 52 cards must be held in each players hands as they find the cards.
7) If a number is accidentally skipped, player must find the skipped number before continuing.

Players - (2 - unlimited players) The player who finds the cards the quickest wins the game.

Ties - Ties are unlikely in this game, since it is timed in minutes and seconds.

Get 21

ace of diamonds king of clubs
Card Game: Get 21

1) Shuffle a standard deck of 52 cards.
2) The cards have to be face down so you can't see them. You can hold the deck in your hands.
3) Draw one card from the deck and see what it is.
4) The goal is to get to 21 or as close to it without going over. The number cards (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) are worth their face value. The picture cards (J, Q, K) are worth 10 points. The ace is worth either 1 point or 11 points. You must decide what the ace is worth once you draw one.
5) Keep drawing as many cards as you want. If you go over 21 you bust. Your hand is worth 0.
6) The best score you can get is a 21.

Players - (2 - unlimited) One player plays at a time until they decide to stop drawing cards. You can stop at any total you have (15, 18, 19...). Then the next player shuffles the deck of cards and plays. The player who is closest to 21 wins.

Ties - If the score is tied at the end of the round, each player plays another round. Whoever comes closest to 21 wins. If still a tie, another round is played until tie is broken.
