Yet another maths game using playing cards

Adding Fish

2 players

Items needed:

1 pack of playing cards

Each player gets 7 cards each – the remainder are left in the middle of the table.

The object of the game is slightly different to traditional rules – instead of having the most cards for this version it’s the person with the highest total after adding all the card values up.

Some variation could be:

A ♠ = 20 points

Q ♥ = 8 points

K ♣ = 10 points

J ♦ = 5 points

Make up your own point scoring system and have fun!

You could use the same rules for the game of pairs!
