  A Fun Strategy Game

This game always makes me think of a dual because that's what people look like sometimes when they're playing... like an intense battle! Of course, this one is with cards, and there's a fair amount of chance involved.
The idea of the game is to use cards to place your tokens in rows of five. You need two rows of five to win. The thing is, once you have four in a row, your opponent usually tries to stop you by either taking one of them off (with one-eyed Jack) or putting one of their tokens in the way, if they have the right card.
This can be played with single people, or teams, which makes it even more fun!

Another favorite game from Grampa's house. Its fun to play, easy to adapt from two to eight players, and even little ones can join in the fun. Of course, Grampa's version is a 3/4 inch slab of plywood with a covering of green felt that he laid cut-up cards on under some screwed on plastic. :) This one is much easier to set up, with a nice cardboard playing board and dice and everything.
