I'm looking for a few more card games to add to my set of pickup card games. I'm familiar with the rummy variants, crazy eights, and 'spite and malice'. Most trick games require a specific number of players, and often require several hands to mean anything, as do the gambling games (Poker variants and Blackjack). Any other suggestions?

I am specifically looking for cardgames that do NOT require : Gambling (Poker), Set players (Spades), or special equipment beyond a deck of cards.

Cheat!
The game can be played by from 2 to 10 players.

One standard pack of 52 cards is used. All the cards are dealt out to the players; some may have more than others, but not by much. The object is to get rid of all your cards. Select at random who should go first and continue clockwise.

On the table is a discard pile, which starts empty. A turn consists of discarding one or more cards face down on the pile, and calling out their rank. The first player must discard Aces, the second player discards Twos, the next player Threes, and so on. After Tens come Jacks, then Queens, then Kings, then back to Aces, etc.

Since the cards are discarded face down, you do not in fact have to play the rank you are calling. For example if it is your turn to discard Sevens, you may actually discard any card or mixture of cards; in particular, if you don't have any Sevens you will be forced to play some other card or cards.

Any player who suspects that the card(s) discarded by a player do not match the rank called can challenge the play by calling "Cheat!", "Bullshit!" or "I doubt it!" (depending on what you call the game). Then the cards played by the challenged player are exposed and one of two things happens:

if they are all of the rank that was called, the challenge is false, and the challenger must pick up the whole discard pile;
if any of the played cards is different from the called rank, the challenge is correct, and the person who played the cards must pick up the whole discard pile.
After the challenge is resolved, play continues in normal rotation: the player to the left of the one who was challenged plays and calls the next rank in sequence.
The first player to get rid of all their cards and survive any challenge resulting from their final play wins the game. If you play your last remaining card(s), but someone challenges you and the cards you played are not what you called, you pick up the pile and play continues.

773 is a game u can play with 3 people
deal a pile of 7 cards to each player, then deal 7 cards in another pile to each player, the deal 3 cards in another pile to each player.
Object is first one to run out of cards wins. You have to start with the first pile. The last card turn up in the middle. Player after the dealer goes first. Then play one card and then the next player plays and ect. High card is Ace and two's are wild which means if you play a two you sweep the pile automatically. High card wins the cards in the middle. If you can't play you have to pass. You must play your cards in order by the pile's 7-7-3. If you match a players play like a 4 on top of a 4 it skips the next player. You can't look at your pile's until you have played all the first pile's. When you get down to the last pile (pile of three cards) and finsh playing the final 3 you win. Remeber two's wild so when you play one of them no matter what is played you sweep the middle cards and get to lead next.
