A card game is any type of game that uses playing cards as the main playing tool. The cards can be a regular 52-card, 4-suit deck, or they can be unique to the game. These games are played all around the world with many of the popular games like euchre, poker, and bridge having variants depending on culture. 28 consists of 4 players with 2 players facing each other forming a team. 32 cards from a standard 56 card deck is used to play. There are eight cards in each of the usual 'French' suits: hearts. Unlike the card game Bridge with about 9 bid counts/player, there are only 29 bid counts between 28 to 56among 6 players or 5 bid counts per player. Wasted bid counts can lead to losses by even 1 point. So, care should be exercised in overbidding.
8*28 Card Game
8•28 is a family push-your-luck card game where the object is to be the closest to 8 or 28 without going over. Each player starts out with one face-down card and has the opportunity to take more cards as the game progresses. The pot grows until no one wants any more cards and then is split between 8 and 28. This simple-sounding game leaves plenty of room for deduction, bluffing, and the thrill of drawing just the right card.
Number of players: 2 to 6 players
Play time: 30 to 40 minutes.
