Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Dummy, declarer, bidding boxes, contract, rubber?

Answer: Bridge

Bridge, also known as Contract Bridge, is played with a full standard pack of cards, and by four people. Considered one of the world's most popular games, this is a rather complicated game to master, but once done, players are hooked. The object of the game is for the declarer to make a number of bids (cards he or she thinks can be won) based on the hand the declarer has been dealt.

His or her partner, hopefully holding a few of that suit in hand, then has to try to take a trick or two as well. The opposing partners, known as the defenders, attempt to stop them from achieving this, by trumping the various cards led with a superior card. And so on.
2. Sai, Sanka, runs, laying off, Gin?

Answer: Rummy

Rummy is almost like a cross between poker and canasta. Players build melds from their hands, or sets of three or four of a kind, or runs of numbers in a suit sequence. It's easier to play than described here. All Rummy variations (there are several) are said to derive from an old Mexican game called Conquian, which in turn derives from the Chinese game of Khanhoo, itself derived from Mahjong.

In fact, this game seems to have more of an ancestral tree than most humans can trace.
3. One lone card left is the loser?

Answer: Old Maid

Old Maid, a game that has come down to us from the Victorian era, can be played by two to eight people. It is known all over Europe, and Japan, by different names, but the game's play is the same, requiring a degree of bluffing as well as skill and luck to win, as the cards in one's hand are paired off and placed down on the table. Each player takes his or her turn at selecting a card from the face down cards of the player on the right in an attempt to achieve this. Before dealing all the cards in the pack around to the players at the beginning of play, however, one card is usually removed from the full pack.

This ensures that there will always be one card will be left at the close of play, and the unfortunate player who is left with that is the loser - the Old Maid. What a cunning way to subtly brainwash the young women of the day to marry and have children.
4. Have you got a two, three, Jack etc?

Answer: Go Fish

Go Fish can be played by 2-5 players with a single deck of cards, or as many as you like with multiple decks. After the required number of cards have been dealt (usually seven to each participant) and the remainder put face down on the table, players then work at making pairs initially from the cards in their hands, and then by taking turns to ask one another if they have such and such a card. If the answer is no, that person says "Go fish" to the enquirer, who then has to pick up a card from the face down kitty.

This is possibly the most simple of all card games, apart from "Grab", and is an ideal one for children in particular.
5. I'll see you, bluff, I'm out?

Answer: Poker

Put simply, all poker games involve betting in one form or another, no matter which version of this game is played. Players can either bet on the contents as is, or try to bluff the other contestants by betting rather high, even if they have nothing at all in their hands. If the bluff is called, then bad luck, they've lost their money, but if it works and the other players throw in their hands, then the bluff has worked. From highest to lowest, the value of card combinations in an ordinary game of poker follows:

Royal flush - an ace high straight flush in the one suit
Straight flush - a straight run of cards in the one suit
Four of a kind - all four suits of the same card
Full house - three of a kind plus a pair
Flush - all cards of the one suit, not in a sequence
Straight - five cards in a sequence of mixed suits
Three of a kind - three cards all the same face value
Two pairs - self explanatory
One pair - self explanatory
High card - none of the other combinations
6. Foundations, tableau, stock?

Answer: Solitaire

Solitaire, also known as patience, is a game that is usually played by oneself, with the purpose of selecting from the set out display chosen, until all cards have eventually reached the ultimate destination that particular game entails. There are very many different ways solitaire can be played, and, though it is indeed a game meant for one, there are some versions that can be played with other participants as well.

It can be very frustrating at times, but because one can play it at will, dressed however they want, and in their own time without any external pressures, rather relaxing as well.
7. Twenty-one, hit, going bust?

Answer: Blackjack

Blackjack, also known as twenty-one, is a very popular casino card game, but instead of playing against each other, contestants play against the dealer. To win, one must either get dealt cards whose face values come to twenty-one, or as close to that number as possible - or to make the dealer go over that mark him or herself. Only two cards are dealt to the players initially, and they have to gamble on the value of those two cards whether to call for another card or not. Only the Ace is worth eleven points, but can also be worth one. Face cards are worth ten points each, and all other cards are worth their displayed value.
8. Always trumps, blind or nil bidding, TRAM?

Answer: Spades

Spades, which is a trick-taking game that originated in the USA, has the variation that it is not the most tricks taken that wins a hand, but the least. At the onset of the game, based on the cards held in their hand, players bid the number of tricks they think they can take. One can either play this game solo, or with a partner.

After play has commenced and a single card is put out, the other players must follow suit wherever possible, or other throw off a rubbish card from their hand, or trump the leading card with a spade. And so on.
9. 144 tiles, China, Pong, Kong?

Answer: Mahjong

Mahjong, a game that originated in China, is usually played by four people at a time. There are several variations to this game, but in the most popular, each player is given thirteen tiles out of the original 144 used in the game. Cards can be used in this interesting game as well as tiles. Play commences with each person in turn drawing one tile at a time and discarding another, until they have a winning combination in their hand that they can call.

This game is a lot more complicated than that though, but far too detailed to go into here. Suffice it to say that all players need a combination of skill, planning and luck - apart from what they have in their hands - to win.
10. Melds, red threes, black or red, wilds?

Answer: Canasta

Canasta is a game played with two decks of normal cards (with four jokers included) or specially designed Canasta packs. It can be played by up to six players at a time, either individually, or in pairs. The major component of the game is to make red or black "canastas" of cards. Minimum black canastas consist of the same face value cards, plus wild cards (jokers and twos) totalling seven in all, but with the number of wild cards never being more than the face ones. Red canastas are all the same face value cards, with a minimum of seven at least.

There are other assorted rules of plays to this engrossing game, but the ultimate purpose is, having meet the required number of canastas, and IF players can successfully rid themselves of other cards in their hands by melding, to be the first to go out. Great fun!
