Common Elements of a Card Game

The genre Card Games is a very broad video-gaming genre that covers all games that utilize cards or similar devices that may not be in the form or shape of a standard 'card'. On top of that, all of these games share many elements that further define the genre. Here are some of the most common elements you can find in a card game.

  • has turn-based gameplay.
  • has a specific goal or objective in order to win the match (e.g. sorting the deck or removing all cards on the board)

Classic Table Card Games

Classic Card games use the standard 52-card deck (or 54 if you include the 2 Joker cards). They have their own traditional rules and tend to have many variations depending on the region and culture it is based on. Table Card Games exploit the fact that only one part of the cards is visible to the players. In fact, they are often characterized as games of 'chance' where guessing is involved. Our most-played Table Card Games include Uno Online based on the three-player version of Uno, Spider Solitaire, and Governor of Poker 2 which features a Western-styled version of Poker.
