Answer: Rook

Another trick-taking game, Rook originally came about as an alternative for those who had religious concerns with the standard 52-card deck, allowing players to play standard card games (removing the 14s renders the deck equivalent to a standard deck) without face cards. Teams take turns bidding for the right to call a trump suit. The rook card is the highest of trump cards.

Answer: Cribbage

Cribbage is typically played with two players or with two teams of two players although a three-player variant exists.

Answer: Skip-Bo

A true test to anybody's shuffling mettle, the Skip-Bo deck is the equivalent of almost three standard decks.

Answer: Hearts

Hearts is a trick-taking game for four people in which players try to avoid accumulating points. Each hand has a total of 26 points available with each heart worth one point and the queen of spades worth 13 points. Players can also try to "shoot to moon" by taking all 26 points which causes the player to score zero for that hand and his opponents to all score 26 points.

The player with the lowest score once the threshold (usually 100 points) has been met is the winner.
