Having cards doesn't make it a gambling game. It's also not even really a card game from what I can tell, you couldn't really play it with a normal deck of cards.
Also poker is totally fine if you are not betting money on it. Played it all the time in my teens. Just give everyone 200 tokens at the start of the game. The tokens don't represent any actual value.
I did consider getting some poker chips recently but saw it would be cheaper and more space efficient to just use real currency. Start off at £2 each, bets like 1-5p or so. Everyone puts their coin pile back into the central piggy bank at the end of the game.
I'm not even shooting the heroin, just smoking it.
Are you trolling or genuinely never played a card game? What, are you going to call uno (copy/paste from the card game crazy eights and sold at 10x the price) gambling next? What about snap.
Wait, wait, wait. Are you telling me Uno is literally just crazy eights, and that's why I've never seen anyone play crazy eights after like 1993?
Yeah. Same game, reskinned cards and sold at a much higher price and can't really play anything else with them. Then over time they add other gimmicks like some ewaste that throws cards on the floor for you and makes the game cost 30 times as much as a pack of cards.
