Looking for meaningful card games to learn—suggestions welcome!

Something’s been missing from my free time lately—I think it’s that sense of light competition and fun that only games can give. Decided I want to dive into card games, but I don’t want to just download another app. I’m talking tactile cards, sitting around a table with real people. Any favorites that go beyond the typical classics?

A while back, I had the same itch and stumbled on a fascinating roundup here: https://www.mirrorreview.com/regional-card-games/. What’s great is that it’s not just a list—it dives into the background, culture, and gameplay of card games from all corners of the globe. Some are cooperative, others highly strategic. I tried Scopone (an Italian game mentioned there) and it turned game night into a cultural experience. Definitely worth checking out if you're into learning something new while having fun.

@ricerick Cool thread—this sort of stuff’s right up my alley too. Always loved learning games that come with a bit of history or flavor. Curious to hear more picks like these.
