Top 8 Card Games for Senior Men

By NHAR

It can be difficult to get men to participate in group activities, but if you are able to get them to share their interests, either in a survey or by asking them in a group discussion, you’ll be better able to find the activities they will want to participate in.

Here are some indoor or rainy-day card games men might enjoy playing. Most are pretty classic like Crib and Gin Rummy, but there may be some guys that haven’t learned to play Poker or Canasta yet.

Here are the top card games for senior men.

  • Poker
  • Gin Rummy
  • Blackjack
  • Canasta
  • War
  • Cribbage
  • Crazy Eights
  • Bridge

Leave comments below of the most popular card games played in your facility. Do you have variations that might mix-it-up a bit? Please share.

When 8 card games aren’t enough, check out this very extensive list of great activities for senior men!
