When you hear “House of cards”, what do you think of first? The game where you use playing cards stacked on top of one another to build a “house”. Or the definition of it: “a structure, situation, or institution that is insubstantial, shaky, or in constant danger of collapse.” If it’s the game, have you tried it? I remember doing it as a kid but didn’t get too far. There’s a strategy to placing them “just right” apparently. For the definition, the movie, or the series, I haven’t watched them. Have you used the definition in your life to refer to something that will collapse?

It reminds me of the T.V. series.

The game, most definitely. Played it when I was a kid. (Before your time ZandraJoi. ) Of course, it was a lot easier when the cards were stone slabs with the card value etched into it.

T.T., Steve, lainee, Bob, Emerald, Interesting how some people view this differently. & I'm sure it was much harder on stone Steve

I think of the card game, though I haven't played it in a long while. I'm sure my unsteady hands couldn't pull it off.

Since I have never played the game like TT it reminds me of the tv show.
