I’m looking for 2 player card games that need only a standard deck of 52+3. Something with a bit of strategy and conning would be perfect.
I enjoy playing Texas Hold’em poker in larger groups but poker scales terribly down to 2 players. I’m looking for something with a similar charm — with complex strategy that involves fooling your opponent.
Also would like a game that’s easy to bet on. I mostly play socially with acquaintances, so let’s not make the game too convoluted to explain to someone, and let’s allow conversation to flow in a slower paced game.
