The whole family went to the Kelly’s for dinner (home of jedimike.net) and after dinner we played a number of card games. The hit of the evening, though, was Spoons, a game I’d never heard of.
That last link describes it exactly as we played it, and apparently that’s how it was done in Jo Ann Kelly’s family since the dawn of time. But after poking around on the web, I’m amazed to see how many variations there are. Here are some of them:
- With sound effects and complexity
- with modified deck and booze
- with standard deck and booze
- with S-P-O-O-N-S for scorekeeping
- With three-of-a-kind
- with pig points and talking hogs
Simple though it sounds, it was hilarious. A great time was had by all.
