JUST RANKIN’ SH!T
6 Card Games Every Black Person Damn Well Better Know How to Play, Ranked
Deal or no deal?
Update 6/7/22: Level has a new home. You can read this article and other new articles by visiting LEVELMAN.com.
6. Go Fish
This is, like, one of the first games you learn. If you don’t know this one, we’re sincerely sorry that you were robbed of your childhood.
5. Solitaire
This loner classic moves up three slots on this list if you were an only child. How the hell else did you entertain yourself?
4. Tonk
If there’s gonna be some Earth, Wind & Fire playing at the kickback, best believe there will also be a table set up for Tonk. (This especially applies to Southern functions.) If you’ve never at least heard of this one, we’re sorry to inform you that in the words of our next president: “You ain’t Black!”
3. Gin (Rummy)
Want to play with an old head? You better have some gin in your hand — and in your system. This is for real ones only. Take your ass to the kiddie table if you’re unfamiliar (see: number six above).
