Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Speed

In Speed, the players do not take turns - physical speed and alertness are required to play faster than your opponent. By being first to play all your stockpile cards you can reduce the number of cards you have in the next deal. By being successful for several deals you can eventually get rid of all your cards, thereby winning the game and taking all the glory. Remember, if you want to play this game use old cards because they can get very battered.

It is quite complicated to play but I am sure that there are Web sites that could give you the whole layout of the game.

2. This game consists of 30 cards, and on each card is a different person or object. The aim of the game is to win all the cards. "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy has been featured in this game.

Answer: Top Trumps

Top Trumps can be in different variations such as cars, soccer players, and even film characters.

3. In this game, people can start with 6, 7 or 10 cards, depending on what rules people like to play, and players compete to get complete sets, or a set of four or three, to play.

Answer: Rummy

Rummy can be played with as many people as you like, as long as each of the players has 6, 7 or 10 cards. As soon as someone gets a complete set, for instance (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), or a set of four or three, for instance (3, 4, 5) and (9, 10, Jack, Queen), that player can play the cards.

Answer: Snap

Snap is the most played game in the UK, and it is so simple and easy to play. It can be very fun when you play with 5 people because when the time comes to say "snap," it can also be quite spirited.

Answer: Solitaire

This game can get very frustrating and leads people to keep restarting in order to get a good start. However, sometimes you need another person to help you find a way of winning instead of restarting.

Answer: Spoons

I would recommend you not to use knives or forks if playing this game because it can get violent in a playful manner.

Answer: Mafia

It can be really funny because you need a narrator to narrate the story, and the village name can be made up and you and your friends will have a great time playing it. It is very complicated to play, and if you want to play it then I suggest you look on another website for a more detailed description.

Answer: Hearts

The game of Hearts also counts 1 "bad" point for each card in the heart suit that a player captures. However, if a player plans properly and captures all 26 "bad" points, then all the other players are assessed "bad" points instead. The player with the lowest score when someone exceeds a certain score (typically, 300 or 500 points) wins.

Answer: Texas Hold 'Em

Texas Hold 'Em is the "cadillac" of the poker games, according to the professionals. The annual World Series of Poker, featuring no-limit betting and the best professional players in the world, is shown on television now.

Answer: Magic: The Gathering

Designed by Richard Garfield, Magic: The Gathering took the gaming world by storm in the mid-1990s and still enjoys steady support 10 years later.

11. This collectible card game needs only one clue: "Pika-pika-pikachu!"

Answer: Pokemon

Pokemon stemmed from the children's anime show in Japan and literally invaded the rest of the world in the late 1990s, spawning TV shows, movies, video games, and yes, a collectible card game.

Answer: All of these

The "Lord of the Rings" collectible card game emerged around the same time as the release of "The Fellowship of the Ring" in late 2001. Interest in the game has faded, however, with the release of several substandard sets and the completion of Peter Jackson's film trilogy.

13. Contract Bridge has been enjoyed for many years by both casual and professional players. This game has 2-player, 3-player, and 4-player versions.

Answer: True

The standard version is 4-player, but attempts have been made to make 2- and 3-player versions viable by revealing a certain number (usually 6) of cards in the unplayed hands prior to the bidding.

Answer: Dummy

"Big blind" and "small blind" are used, of course, in the poker games where there is no ante or opening bet. And "Chance" cards are actually from Monopoly! :-)

Answer: Spades

Hope you had fun with the quiz. Have a nice day!
