Game library

A fast, real-time race with no turns: both players simultaneously swap cards between their face-down piles and a shared row of face-up cards, trying to make every pile four of a kind first.

🂡 Cards · Commerce group / matching

A quick draw-and-discard game where you shed cards by dumping rummy-like sets and runs, aiming for a low hand. When you think you're lowest, you call 'Yaniv' to end the round — but if someone ties or beats you, you take a big penalty.

🂡 Cards · Draw and discard

A turn-based patience duel: race to empty your face-down pay-off pile by feeding cards into shared centre stacks that run Ace up to Queen, while managing four personal side stacks for cards you can't yet use.

🂡 Cards · Competitive patience

A quick, skilful adding game: players take turns pushing a shared count up one at a time from 1 to 20 by playing cards that hit each exact total, aiming to shed their hand or be left holding the least.

🂡 Cards · Adding games

A domino game, not a card game: you score whenever the open ends of the cross-shaped layout add up to a multiple of five. Fast to play but strategically rich.

🁡 Dominoes · Domino game (Fives family, cross layout)

The classic pub game: score points on a peg board for card combinations that make 15, pairs, runs and flushes, both during play and in your hand, with the dealer earning an extra hand called the crib.

🂡 Cards · Adding games

The classic Russian 'fool' game where you attack your opponent with cards they must beat, drawing back up to six after each bout. This transfer variant adds a twist: instead of defending, you can bounce an attack back by playing a matching rank. The last player left holding cards loses.

🂡 Cards · Beating games

A Spanish fishing game where you capture table cards by combining them with a card from your hand to total exactly 15; sweeping the whole table earns a bonus 'escoba'.

🂡 Cards · Fishing games

A ten-card rummy for two where you form your hand into sets and runs, then end the hand by 'knocking' once your leftover cards are worth little, or hold out for a bonus 'gin'.

🂡 Cards · Rummy (knock rummy)

A clever two-player poker duel with no betting: each player has their own 52-card deck and reveals cards one at a time to build competing poker hands. The player who's behind must either add a card or concede. First to win 6 of 11 hands takes it.

🂡 Cards · Poker-based / invented

An Afghan two-player 'beating' game (featured in The Kite Runner) played through a series of attacks and defenses. You keep a five-card hand while the stock lasts, then race to shed your cards in the endgame. Whoever is left holding cards loses.

🂡 Cards · Beating games

A lively fishing game full of little scoring flourishes: capture table cards by matching rank, grab bonus points for matching the card the previous player just laid down (a 'porrazo'), and declare pairs in hand for extra points.

🂡 Cards · Fishing games

A Czech trick game with an unusual twist: a card can only be beaten by another of the same rank as the lead, or by a seven (which is wild). You aim to capture aces and tens.

🂡 Cards · Sedma group (trick-taking)

A southern African version of Casino where every card has a capture value, captured cards are kept face up, and — the distinctive twist — you can pull the top card off an opponent's capture pile to help build your own combinations. Rich, tactical fishing game centered on high-value builds.

🂡 Cards · Fishing games (Casino / Royal Casino)

A duel-style card game, an early ancestor of games like Magic, where the same card can be a point, a weapon to destroy an opponent's points, or a special effect. First to 21 points of cards on the table wins.

🂡 Cards · Combat games

The best-known Korean flower-card game. You capture cards from a shared layout by matching months, build scoring combinations, and — once you reach the target score — face the game's signature choice: 'Stop' and collect, or 'Go' to gamble for more while risking that your opponent wins instead.

🂡 Cards · Fishing game (flower cards / hwatu)

A tense 20-card trick-taking duel where you race to 66 card points by winning valuable cards and declaring King-Queen 'marriages', with the pivotal decision of when to 'close' the deck.

🂡 Cards · Ace-Ten / Marriage group (point-trick)

A rich Hungarian trick-and-draw game where you both fight for valuable cards in tricks and collect and declare melds — sequences and four-of-a-kinds — as you assemble them during play. First to 501 card points wins the deal.

🂡 Cards · Jass group (trick-and-draw, point-trick with melds)

Widely rated one of the most skilful two-player card games. A trick-taking game where you bid to set trumps, score for sequences and the trump King-Queen ('Bela'), and capture point cards — but if you take on trumps and lose, all your points go to your opponent.

🂡 Cards · Jass group (point-trick with melds)

A classic, deeply strategic two-player game barely changed since the 1500s. Across a six-deal 'partie' you improve your hand from a talon, score for the best point (longest suit), sequence, and set, then play out no-trump tricks. Rich in declaration bluffing and precise card play.
