As long as you all decide which way you’re going before the first hand is dealt it’s easy to just go with House Rules. You may find yourself playing with people who remember the rules differently, but that’s okay. Now Colinda is from Western Australia, which means they were taught WA rules, which means I was taught those same western ways and that’s I’m about to share here.

One of my favourite card games to play with my parents when we go camping (oh alright, travelling in the motorhome, but it’s a sort of camping to us) is something they picked up at a motorhome rally from a lady by the name of Colinda Spark. This can make for an interesting time when travellers get together and bring out a couple of packs of cards. Some games everyone knows the rules to, but then there are others where people can have very different opinions because they were first taught it in a particular way.Įven within Australia if you travel between states you may find some people have grown up playing a game one way while others play something with the same name but slightly different rules. Card games can be all sorts of fun but there can be times when you’re struggling to remember the rules or having a little debate over the way a game should be played.
