I just assume card games vary between the US and England. I'm curious what kind of card games the Beatles might have played. Examples:

Hard Day's Night: In the carriage.

Help: In the palace.

I assume it's some form of poker, but I don't really know.

Also, what kind of card games would they play with only two players? I often see just 2 of the boys playing cards in pics.

Thank you!

Thanks, FT! I'll look up "pontoon" in Wiki, since I'm clueless.

Me, too. The only thing I play is gin on long-haul flights.
