To all the aunties who think card playing will result in children becoming drunken penny-less gamblers: think again! There is Math in it. There is logic, strategy, memory, discipline and of course, chance! Valuable lessons I would think. What do you think? Would you let your let's say 8 year old learn or play card games with friends?

    Hell yeah! I most definitely would teach my 8 year old how to play cards. Playing card games is really not that easy. Like you said, it does involve quite a lot of strategy and logic.

    I think I would too! In fact I got my ass royally kicked by two little kiddoos when I took up the challenge and played cards with them few months back :P

    I would just keep the money part disconnected from the card games, that's all :)

    Thanks for the support y'all. :) This discussion came out of teaching a bunch of cranky kids an easy memory card game at a get-together thingy..
