Answer 1

We play one called Baseball for 2 or more players.

Use 2 decks. (We don't usually play with more than 6, if you do you might want to consider 3 decks.)

Deal 8 cards for each person.
Lay each card face down, in 2 rows(going across).
Turn up 2 cards, but only one per column.
Each card is face value A=1, 2=2,...,J=10,Q=10
with the exception of K=0 and Joker= -3.
You want a low score.
Put the deck in the middle and turn one card up.
The 1st player can take the turned up card or draw.
Once they pick a card either they can trade with a turned up card or pick one that is face down in front of them. (The only way to know the value of a face down card is to trade it.)
Discard the traded card.
If you pick-up the discarded card or draw a card that is the same as one of your turned up cards it is a double play and you wipe out that column(only if the other card in the column is still face down).
Each player takes a turn drawing and discarding until a player as all cards gone or turned up. Once this happens each of the other players get one more turn.
You play 9 rounds.
