How to play
Before you start, assign a question to each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades. Deal one card to every person, then go around the group answering the question that matches their suit, saying their name first if the group is new. For a longer version, assign a different question to each rank instead (ace through king) and have everyone draw three or four cards. The randomness keeps it interesting, and the questions can be pitched to suit any age group.
