I play the two card games that Ernie recently learned. Time after time, we sit around the table and play spades. We usually begin by complaining over how much homework we have to do and then all of a sudden a serious game of spades begins. I’ve been Ernie’s partner for a few games but for the most part, I play against him. The first 4 games my partner and I played against Ernie, we lost. Since then, I have beaten Ernie each time I have played him including twice tonight, 4/21. The game of spades takes a lot of skill and concentration. It can also bring friends together and even break friendships apart because of the high level of competitiveness.
The other game Ernie learned is a southern based game called “Tunk.” This game is an every man for themselves game while spades is a four player game divided into teams of two. In tunk, you must also concentrate and pay attention to the cards played but the other people around the table. Here in this game, I have more wins than Ernie as well but it’s not a surprise seeing as how I’ve known the game longer. Card games in college are great because it saves money by keeping us in the building during the night. Usually people like to go out to different events that cost large amounts of money. Over the summer I intend to continue playing both games in order to get better for next year’s competitors and my friend Ernie’s improvement in the game.
