Card Games

A bunch of these pages and hub guides have fancy titles, and yet, when we’re left with card games, there’s just too many types of card games to come up with something pithy. Should deckbuilders fall under this category? Does any game with cards count? Or are we just talking about things where the cards are the primary interaction mechanism for the game? This kind of stuff will keep you up at night, provided you’re the kind of person who’s kept up at night by the nuances of maintaining a board game review site. If you are that kind of person, might I recommend getting into the reviewer business? There’s no money here, but you certainly have the right kind of brain problem for it. But I digress. Within the wider world of card games there are many genres, ranging from the storied trick-taking games of yore to the more modern drafting games to, frankly, the difficult-to-categorize games that we just call “card games”. These are a few of my favorites.
