THE BEST CARD GAMES FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES!

If your childhood even mildly compares to mine (I’m sure not everyone collected stickers and made homemade sticker books out of printer paper, numbering each sticker up to the high five figures while drinking a Henry Weinhard’s root beer and feeling VERY cool, but I bet there are a few of you here), you probably spent a lot of nights with your family in front of a fire shuffling decks of cards.

For my birthday just a few years ago, my husband, my mom, and I played one game of UNO so far into the night that we still talk about it. After at least two hours, I think my husband won. I would remember even better if I walked away victorious.

Card games are clearly a serious business in my family. Naturally, I am working to instill a competitive edge into my four-year-old while my two-year-old naps. (We can’t risk her curious, sticky fingers messing with our decks, which I hide when she’s awake.)

This list rounds up the best card games for kids of all ages—myself included—that you can break out anytime, anywhere. We’ve categorized it by age to make introducing this level of fun to your kids even easier. You may even see something from your childhood here.

Start stoking those competitive fires and let the games begin!
