Reply #2: we play Shanghai Rummy or Chicken foot dominoes [View All]

[yellowdogintexas]

a nice round table 3 deck card game which can be played with an odd number if necessary.

I have googled many versions; it is also known as Progressive Rummy and Liverpool Rummy

Another great game for a group, especially mixed ages is Chickenfoot (a type of dominoes). Pick up a dominoe set, at least a double 9 but double 12 is even better, the rules for Chickenfoot and Mexican Train are usually included. Again, you can google the rules for both of these.

Look for dominoes with color coded dots..each number group has its own color, which makes the game easier for the very young to play. They know their colors even if the number cluster look too much alike for them, which really levels the field for the younger kids.
