* Magic The Gathering[https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/android-netrunner-the-card-game/ NetRunner], Hardy Pottinger, some random I will bring the intro deckbox set, not brilliantI've never played, parent-class (presents enough challenge Eric Phetteplace has kindly agreed to teach me how to keep all players amused, but if you play at all, you'll beat it).Wanna learn, too?

* [https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1107/nyet, Nyet!], Jon Gorman, An interesting trick-taking game played over multiple rounds where each round people determine what the rules will be for the hand. (Note, this is the old 1997 version, not the pretty new one.)
* [https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/56692/parade, Parade], Jon Gorman, a nice game where you are manipulating a line of cards trying to take the least amount of points possible. (Using a rage deck)
* [https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/354/sticheln, Sticheln], Jon Gorman, Probably my favorite-trick taking game. Dirt simple: everyone chooses a pain color. Cards taken in that suit are face-value negative points, other cards are single points. (rage deck)
