James Bond
You may be wondering what card game James Bond plays in his brilliant films such as Golden Eye and Thunderball. He actually plays Baccarat, a famous casino game played around the world. Ironic as it sounds, but did you know that James Bond is actually the name of a children’s card game as well? If you heard of Atlantis or Chanhassen, then we are talking about the same thing.
James Bond is also not just an ordinary children’s card game. It is a game that involves strategy, just like other card games. The great thing about this game is that it is not so complicated as compared to Poker and Baccarat. The rules and objectives of this game are really simple. What could be harder than coming up with four cards with the same rank.
If you are wondering how many players can be accommodated, it is between two to three. In case two players are only involved, each player only receives three cards instead of four. If you can find three players, it would be better and more exciting. While each player receives four cards each, there is also a set of four cards that are face up. The players can trade their cards one at a time in exchange for the cards that are revealed. The main goal of each player is to be able to create a hand of identically ranked cards. The first player to come up with the identically ranked cards shouts “James Bond” and wins the game.
Isn’t that easy? James Bond also has other variations. One game even requires a player to shout “book” each time they come up with four identical cards. If you are looking for card games that are more relaxed and fun, I recommend the James Bond card game. Though it is a children’s game, it would not hurt an adult to give it a try.
