Before the boredom and winter blahs kicks in, many people like to find things to occupy their minds.

Before starting a new game it might be wise to take a refresher course on Card Game Terms, Hands, Ranks, and Definitions for a comprehensive listing of many of the phrases used in card games. For those who are new to card games, learning about Playing Cards, Decks, Rules and Suits is a great place to start.

There are many Rummy variations that are fun for two or more people including 500 Rummy, and 3-13. Liverpool Rummy (or May I) is also a Rummy variation that can be played with two people, but is best to play with three or more people.

Sergeant Major and Maw are trick taking games that are very popular in the UK and Ireland. Simple to learn and a lot of fun for three, four or more people. For card games that require a little more interaction between players, try Spoons, Crazy Eights and I Doubt It.

With thousands of card games played by people over the centuries, there's no reason to let a little winter blah get you down and if there are more than two people, there are plenty of card games played with three people and card games for large groups of eight people or more.
