After seeing Alice In Wonderland i was struck with the thought: Chess Or Cards?

Note: "Cards" includes every single card game imaginable: Poker (from Texas Hold-Em to Strip), 21, Snap, Solitaire etc.

I have to go with Chess. Even though it's only one game it's just better!

Edit: Don't forget building card towers!

Cards.

Enough variety that you can find a game that everyone likes... whereas not everyone likes chess enough to play it every day at lunch.
Cards also allow more than 2 players =D

But that's just it. There are so many different ways it can go, and not dependent on luck in the slightest. It is all about making your own strategy, and adapting it to your opponent's.

Well, chess is more skill based, but cards are funner and you can have more friends playing them, so cards for me.

I'd probably go cards because chess makes me cry. There's too much skill involved, I can never think enough moves ahead to beat anyone. With cards at least when you continually lose you can blame the cards somewhat rather than just your own lack of skill. I find cards therefore psychologically easier to deal with.

Also, cards make better porn than chess pieces.

If it weren't for poker it would be more clear cut for me. Cos i do love a good 4 hour game of poker!

That's kinda why I voted cards. Get a big group together, or just one friend, plenty of games to choose from, easy to pick up, easy to leave. Hard to get passionate/excited over chess. If I'm going to play chess, I'll do it against the CPU. As a last resort.

Agreed I can't think of any card game I have ever won/enjoyed playing, chess all the way for me even though I rarely beat people at that I at least enjoy getting my ass handed to me.

Cards, easily.

I think my best hand ever was a 6-7-8-9-10 straight flush of clubs in Hold'em.

I'm pretty sure that technically you could play chess with a deck of cards. So... cards?
