If not, you could try looking it up in a book. If you already know the game you might consider contributing a description of it to this site. Afterward, the Dealer will deal themselves out two cards face-down, as the Dealer will be considered a normal Player outside of the Dealing phase. Therefore it is quite likely that the game you want is not yet here. The cards dealt to Players should be kept face-down, but cards dealt into the play area should be dealt face-up, with no cards overlapping one another.

At present the site contains rules for only a minority of the card games that exist. These types of game are generally not listed in the index below.

Invented games (newly created games and variations contributed by readers).

Solitaire / Patience games (games for one player).

Commercial games (games requiring a special pack of cards produced by a single manufacturer).

If you are searching for games for a particular number of players you may prefer to use the Index of Games by Number of Players. Traditional multi-player card games for which rules are available from this site are listed below in alphabetical order, together with the number of players and the design and number of cards or tiles needed for each - see further explanation at the end of the page.
