Being a TV Junky, I generally sit all day, but last year I was tricked into playing a card game at Travel Inn in Washington, that was a lot of fun. (I don't like games).
They called it "Card Bingo". Each player brings 3 nickels,3 dimes,3 quarter and a dollar bill.
The tables are set up with 4 players per table and a regular deck of playing cards, each player is delt 13 cards randomly in normal rotation.
Where I lost it was that the main caller has a set of game variations and presents a different variation for each of the 10 games.
I have the various aspects of the game down pat but I can't remember the various game variations.
I would like to introduce this game at some of the parks we go to but I need your help trying to list the various games.
HAS ANYONE OTHER THAN ME PLAYED THIS GAME?????????

Game variations that I know of are:

No Spades
No Hearts
No Clubs
No Diamonds
No Face cards
No Numbered Cards

When I say "no", it means if you have and of the those cards in your hand you remove them before the game starts.

Thanks for the sugestions from Wayne & Roberta.
Seems to me we did a lot of standing and sitting down.

I am sure there are many variations on the game, for instance we play 20 games at a dime a game. We don't play any games standing.

We did play a game like Card Bingo at a Workhorse Rally where you stand as long as you have cards, last person standing wins.

I have seen so many variations on Mexican Train it makes my head spin.
