Go fish!

I got a 22. That’s a super blackjack. Pay me double my bet.

Seven NoTrump.

Pinochle?

Poker, you just lost!

I hope they remember where the bathroom is.

Since there’s two of them it should be cribbage. Best two player card game ever.

For sure it isn’t cribbage since there is no board.

Looks like rummy to me. If they were playing blackjack, the cards would be on the table, not in their hands.

Oldsheimers

Since you both have cards, it has to be rummy.

Ring the bell ! We have a double "Space Out " ;-)

Old men used to play pinocle.

Mumbley Peg. You were discussing who would fetch the bandages to stem the flow from you foot. Cut the deck – High card wins, or loses. Then you blacked out from the loss of blood. And here you are, still.

The game around here is Pitch, not too well-known outside of NE.

Crazy 8’s

With age the question, “what is reality” simply becomes, “what”?

Two old guys on a park bench:

Guy #!: Windy today ain’t it?

Guy #2: Naw, it’s Thursday.

Guy #1: Me too, wanna get a beer?

Yes!

Good Con, Earl! It’s how Con artists usually operate making distractions for the victim so that the victim forgets (not by choice!) what game they’re playing and that they (the con) can tell the victim that any money (if any) is owed to THEM. Watch out about this one.

Both having senior moments.

Go fish.

Looks to me like they are playing Rummy …… ;)

Gin!

Obviously not blackjack, which requires chips. And a dealer.

Oddly enough, they were playing Solitaire….

At their advanced years, I would guess Slapjack.

Another way to know you’re getting old.

SERIOUSLY..???

Gotta be rummy. Too many cards in hand for blackjack in which cards are traditionally left on the table.

That would have been me a couple months ago trying to play poker with my friends. I’ve had to cross that one off my list. :-(

It seems like I remember seeing a movie one time where somebody threw down his hand and said “Gin” and then someone else said, “Uh, we’re playing blackjack.”

Something like that anyway.

Fifty-two pickup!

My rule of thumb is: if you’re asking whose turn it is, it’s most likely yours
