I love just about every card game I've ever played, and I've played tons of 'em: My dad is one of seven kids, and my childhood memories from every family get-together of our large extended family are centered around my grandma's big dining room table, playing cards.
One-on-one, my grandma and I would play games of War that would last for hours. But my favorite game that we played, and still my favorite, is probably Shanghai Rummy, which is essentially the more complicated Chinese version of Gin.
I also love me a game of Texas Hold-'Em.
If you're not a fan of traditional card games, please feel free to answer with your favorite card-based role-playing game instead. Like "Magic and the Gathering?"

[Video Paraphrase: It's a clip from the documentary "Hell House," in which a man and woman working on the script for a conservative Christian hell house are having a who's-on-first type miscommunication about the name of the role-playing game Magic: The Gathering.]
