Cribbage is one of the best two-person card games IMHO. There are plenty of other card games that are good fun for more than two people—hearts and spoons come to mind as a couple that are not too difficult for kids and not too boring for adults. Euchre also is not super hard (though a bit esoteric when you first try to learn it due to the unusual conventions and vocabulary) and a whole lot of fun.
Boggle and Quiddler are both fun word games for wide age ranges.
Dutch Blitz is a sort of frenetic double solitaire game for up to four people.
Othello/Reversi is good.
If you have a big enough crowd, cancellation hearts is a fun variant of hearts. It's hearts with more than one deck of cards, however many make for a reasonable hand size for the number of players, and the additional rule that even numbers of duplicate cards cancel each other out in terms of winning a trick, but not when counting points. If a trick has no on-suit cards left in it after cancellation, the same player leads again and whoever wins the second trick gets all the cards for both tricks. Often a joker (representing a "zero of clubs" is added or all but one two of clubs removed to determine who first leads, assuming you play that the two of clubs is always the first led card.
