A pack of cards. Two seats.
Two player card games online, across the table or across town.
Two real people play from two devices. The server holds the hidden cards. Or sit down against the computer. Free, no ads, New Zealand house rules for Last Card and 500.
500
The kiwi and Aussie trick game, for two. Bid, pick up the kitty, bowers and the joker. First to 500 points, or the other player to -500, wins.
Cribbage
The classic two-player race to 121. Throw two to the crib, peg to 31, then count fifteens, pairs, runs, and nobs.
Gin Rummy
The two-player rummy game. Ten cards, draw and discard, knock at 10 deadwood or less. Gin scores extra. First to 100 wins.
Go Fish
Ask for a rank you already hold. If they have any, they hand them over and you ask again. If not, go fish. Four of a rank is a book. Most books wins.
Hearts
Dump hearts and the queen of spades. Two players, 13 cards each, draw from the stock after every trick. Pass three, then follow suit. Lowest score to 100 wins.
Speed
A two-player race. Slap cards one rank up or down onto the centre piles. Ace wraps with king and two. First to empty their hand and stock wins. No turns: both of you play at once.
Double Solitaire
Two Klondike layouts, eight shared foundations. Build aces to kings in the middle. First to get all 52 of their cards up wins. Both play at once.
Stockpile
Skip-Bo style. Empty your personal stock by building shared piles from 1 to 12. Wilds play as whatever the pile needs. Four discard piles, five-card hand.
