cribbage-- it has enough luck in it so that a good player doesn't beat a bad player all of the time, but it has some skill to it. it is also a fairly simple game to play that does not require a lot of concentration and only takes about 10 minutes to play a game.

Gin. You can even needle in Gin. "Come on baby, give me the card I need, you can do it!" "Oh you'd have to do something really special to get me to give you this card, I'm putting that one over here" (Move card around in your hand)

Gin is a great game.

this game (aka big two, or big deuce) does rule, though it's more fun with 3 or 4 players.
