Greatest ever (non-computer) game
There have been 76 nominations.
All games using playing cards (52) have been listed under one entry.
The groups for the heats have been randomly selected by Excel, so if all your favourites are in one heat.... tough.
Round 1 will have groups of 5 or 6 in each heat.
Round one is purely to sort the wheat from the chaff. You get two votes each and the top three go through. If you only want to use one vote (or none for that matter) you can.
In future rounds you'll only get one vote.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I'm stuck between screwball scramble, mouse trap and guess who for my two votes.
I remember having a Snoopy version of snap as a child, but it's not quite good enough to get a vote from me.

Snap for me.
I know Mouse Trap, and I'm sure a relative had it, but we never owned it or played with it much.
I must have led such a sad childhood, missing out on all these amazing games. Then again, there was much to be said for the cardboard box as a toy.

Snap and Guess Who for me.
I had Mouse Trap and played it a few times but then if anything broke or went missing it was rendered useless.

Guess Who and Mouse Trap - Screwball Scramble would be a close runner-up though  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Snap and Guess Who here.
Although I was thinking Snap was classed as a standard card game that should be lumped in with the other 52 card card games. Still, I suppose it doesn't have to be played with ordinary playing cards.
