but … Monopoly has a board beside the cards…

And so the game never ends.

I’m out!

I feel like I have played that game!

Watching a YouTube playthrough is cheating.

I’m pretty sure I know how to play Crazy Maid Rummy.

Pinochle.

A game of Calvin Cards? (ala Calvin Ball)

Been in that situation many times!

Magic the Gathering. I remember reading and understanding the rules back in 4th edition but each edition it gets more complicated. I quit playing.

Uno?

My idea for a metagame is to have the two opponents try to explain cricket to one another. The loser is the first one who actually manages to understand the game.

Like the underlying game, matches can sometimes last for days without anyone winning.

sounds like pickleball

Is it fizzbin? They should talk to Captain Kirk

If anyone still has “Trump: The Game?”

Good one! But that made me think of, “Bill Clinton FLUSH! All American Tax Game” or, “Wafflin’ Willy”.

There is a game called Propaganda, that has the most convoluted rules system I have ever seen, which fits this strip perfectly..

Which are not, by the way, printed on the cards. :)

If it isn’t pinochle or poker, I don’t play it. I only learned those because I grew up on a ranger station and sometimes a fourth player was hard to come by. I don’t enjoy games of any kind.
