Fifteen-Two, Fifteen-Four, Pair's Six...

P and I have been playing Cribbage, which is a good game, and probably more fun than Rummy - at least for us at the moment.

Our book of card games also has rules for Two-handed Hearts, which was entertaining (playing the rule that the Queen of Spades hits you for 13pts).

Aside from Cribbage, Rummy, Hearts and a few versions of patience, we've not tried any of the other games described.

I do remember getting very into Auction Pinochle whilst at Uni, but you need four players for that one, and sadly P & I simply number two (Mali can't really be trusted to join in).

So, any other 2-player card games that you lot recommend?

In southern Germany, Skat is very popular, and most people I know know how to play it. My family played it very often, so I was very keen on learning it so I could play with them (and stay up long, because they often played long into the night ;o)
