G'day mates, I'm gonna be spending the next 2 weeks in Australia, however, there are going to be two days completely spent in the air, what are your favorite card games, I'll play em' with my friends in the air, assuming I'm by one of them on the flight. (Cards don't have batteries)
Besides you can show everyone that you play something beyond poker ;)

Thanks,
Matt

    Spades, Spades, and Spades again......


    or if you have some "airplane firewater" available, a rousing game of B*llsh*t might be "in the cards"

    get it?:o
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Try to become an expert at card darts on your flight and see how long it takes them to land the plane and haul your **** off. :eek:

    Have a good time in Australia, it's fantastic.

    Yeah, hearts and / or spades are good, although not so much with two people. Rummy is also always fun.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I like to play a variation of Uno called 'Bomb.' When you get down to one card you yell, well you get the idea. Try it, have fun.

    ummm... I like Uno and Mille Bornes. Really.
    You meant, like 52-card deck card games, didn't you? Or, maybe, even pinochle?
