Brilliant little card game I played in college and still occasionally play in uni, If you have no idea what I'm talking about look it up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_%28game%29 With a great concept with the way it must be played, odd for a card game in that it is often most fun with new players. Sadly a prerequisite is that you should only invite reasonably intelligent people to play, from experience some people lose patience but it is a very cool game to pick up imo. For people who have played: I know you shouldn't share rules but a friend had a brilliant rule "pickupsticks" everytime you need to pick up a card (for anything) you need to say pickupsticks, perfect in that it was very basic so everyone knew what it was but it was still frustrating as hell.
