No, it's not Duel Monsters. This is just for relaxation. But it can be any other children's card game. In many shows, we will see several recurring menaces relaxing at a table playing a friendly card game. And what is the card game of choice for these dastardly figures? This is handily answered for the viewers when the largest and most visually imposing player rumbles, "Got any threes?" This is a common way to make light of the villains. Games used for this purpose are relatively non-competitive, requiring little player skill, and rarely gambled upon (though it can happen). With no skill or importance, The Magic Poker Equation is a firm zero — anything can happen, and no one is worried about what will. Children's card games get taught early, so any children who want to act out the scene in question can. For slightly older viewers, these games look like poker if you can't see the table. Sometimes, it will turn out that the game is poker (or maybe gin rummy), and that the villain who just asked for threes is so clueless that he thought it was. Western shows often use Go Fish because of the distinctive calls. In Japan, the game of choice is Old Maid. In Russia, it is Durak. See Hollywood Board Games for other ways Tabletop Games can be used for characterization. |

They're good guys, but this should still count: In one Aladdin episode, it looks as if Genie, Iago and Carpet are playing a game of poker, complete with chips and Iago wearing a little visor on his head. Until Genie says "Got any nines?" Especially absurd since neither poker, nor go fish, nor playing cards themselves should have been invented yet. | |

Fillmore! did this. Amusingly they have other childish card games mentioned with the casino only offering "Go Fish" Expy "Dandy for Candy" or "Old Maid" and the owner dismissing Fillmore's request to play something else. Poker is never mentioned as a possibility by either of them. |

Farscape. One of John Crichton's Imagine Spots with Harvey, an Imaginary Friend version of the Big Bad Scorpius, involves them playing chess on a battlefield. Just when you think the scene is going to riff on the Chess with Death trope, they've suddenly changed to checkers and then Go Fish. | |

This is how VeggieTales depicted the sailors "drawing lots" to determine who had made God mad in their retelling of the story of Jonah. "Loser takes a swim!" Bonus points for being the kind that uses a novelty deck with actual pictures of different fish instead of numbered cards. And the game-ending play was a pair of whales. | |

The Great Lakes Avengers are constantly playing poker, mostly because there's nothing to do in Wisconsin. During the GLA miniseries, their enemies, Batroc's Brigade, also take up cards to stave off the boredom of being supervillains in Wisconsin. They prefer Go Fish (possibly a Visual Pun as well, as they were in an underwater lair at the time). There's also a long-running floating poker game between the Avengers, X-Men and other Marvel heroes, which was turned into a massive tournament for the Thing's Bar Mitzvah. |

SPY Fox used the trope as part of its Affectionate Parody of spy movie tropes. A potentially plot relevant mini-game involves a card game in a seedy bar with a fez wearing man (well, pig) doing a Sydney Greenstreet impersonation. But of course, rather than poker, it's Go Fish. | |

Kamen Rider Double has an episode in which the MOTW is the owner of a casino. In order to win back the people who went bankrupt at the casino, whom the MOTW can turn into coins, Shotaro and Philip play a bunch of roulette, and when Shotaro gets sick of Philip doing all the work (Philip's mind is fast enough to calculate where the ball will land) he challenges the casino owner to a game of Old Maid. The game ends up finishing via Shotaro throwing the Joker at the casino owner's head. Doubles as a pun, since Shotaro himself is considered the Joker of the series and his base left-hand form is Joker. | |
