Card Game
A card game is any game that uses playing cards as the primary device with which the game is played, whether the cards are of a traditional design or specifically created for the game (proprietary). Countless card games exist, including families of related games (such as poker). A small number of card games played with traditional decks have formally standardized rules with international tournaments being held, but most are folk games whose rules may vary by region, culture, location or from circle (cards), circle to circle. Traditional card games are played with a ''deck'' or ''pack'' of playing cards which are identical in size and shape. Each card has two sides, the ''face'' and the ''back''. Normally the backs of the cards are indistinguishable. The faces of the cards may all be unique, or there can be duplicates. The composition of a deck is known to each player. In some cases several decks are Shuffling, shuffled together to form a single ''pack'' or ''shoe''. Modern car ...

Golf (card Game)
Golf (also known as Polish Polka, Polish Poker, Turtle, Hara Kiri and Crazy Nines) is a card game where players try to earn the lowest score (as in golf, the sport) over the course of multiple deals (or "holes", as in a golf course hole), usually nine. This game is not to be confused with Golf (patience), the solitaire game of the same name, with which it has little in common. Deal A single 52-playing card, card deck is recommended for a two or three player game. If played with four or more players, a double-deck of 104 cards is ideal. Each player is dealt six face-down cards from a shuffled deck. The remaining cards are placed face down to form the stockpile, from which the top card is taken and turned up to start the discard pile beside it. Players arrange their cards in two rows of three in front of them and turn any two of these cards face up. This arrangement is maintained throughout the game; players always have six cards in front of them. Play The objective is for pl ...

Playing Card
A playing card is a piece of specially prepared card stock, heavy paper, thin cardboard, plastic-coated paper, cotton-paper blend, or thin plastic that is marked with distinguishing motifs. Often the front (face) and back of each card has a finish to make handling easier. They are most commonly used for playing card games, and are also used in magic tricks, cardistry, card throwing, and card houses; cards may also be collected. Playing cards are typically palm-sized for convenient handling, and usually are sold together in a set as a deck of cards or pack of cards. The most common type of playing card in the West is the French-suited, standard 52-card pack, of which the most widespread design is the English pattern, followed by the Belgian-Genoese pattern. However, many countries use other, traditional types of playing card, including those that are German, Italian, Spanish and Swiss-suited. Tarot cards (also known locally as ''Tarocks'' or ''tarocchi'') are an ol ...

Cabo (game)
''Cabo'' is a 2010 card game by Melissa Limes and Mandy Henning that involves memory and manipulation based on the classic Golf card game and is similar to Rat-a-Tat Cat (1995). The game uses a dedicated deck of cards with each suit numbered from 0 to 13, and certain numbers being marked as "Peek", "Spy" or "Swap". The objective of the game is for each player to minimize the sum of their own cards, four of which are played face-down to the table at the start of a round. Face-down cards may be revealed and swapped by card effects. ''Cabo'' combines elements from shedding and matching type card games. It is similar to the traditional card game ''Golf'' and the 1995 Mensa Select award-winner ''Rat-a-Tat Cat''. ''Cabo'' can also be played with a standard playing card deck, and goes under names including Cambio, Pablo and Cactus. Gameplay Each player is dealt 4 cards, face down. After each deal, players may peek at any 2 of their own cards. In clockwise order, players do ...
