50 card games to play at home and the stories behind them
Families around the country and the world continue to stay at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the inundation of streaming TV and movies, a standard deck of cards is a great outlet to shake things up—at least for a few hours of the day. In a 52-card deck, you’ll find a near-infinite number of games to choose from for your entertainment and amusement.
The hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs on standard playing cards are familiar to all, and the number of games invented with these cards during the past several centuries would be impossible to count. They range from simple games that children can easily pick up, to high-stakes card games that have developed followings and world championships, to much more complex and niche games.
Even among these games of varying skill levels are different categories and genres. In trick-taking games, for example, each player plays one card face up; fishing games will have a pool of face-up cards that can be captured by playing a matching card from one’s hand; draw-and-discard games are self-explanatory, with players drawing a card from one pile and discarding one to another pile; and so on.
With this in mind, Stacker has compiled 50 of the most popular card games that anyone can play with a standard deck of 52 playing cards. This list includes games from the aforementioned skill levels and genres, sourced and referenced from a number of game-enthusiast websites and storefronts like BoardGameGeek and PlayingCardDecks.com, and databases for games like Pagat. Each slide will describe the basic rules of the game, other similar and comparable card games, and if applicable or available, a brief history of the game.
And even if all options have been exhausted, one could resort to card tricks, card throwing, and building houses of cards for merriment. Read on to see the best games you can play with your own deck of cards during this period of social distancing.
