The games we
pass along.
Hello, I'm Tiago, and I'm a software developer. I've always been interested in card games and enjoyed playing them with my family. Card games are wonderfully versatile: you can play them in almost any setting.
There are games to play on your own, games for two, children's games, and games for a lively party with friends. You can play at a café, on the beach, and in countless other places. I have quite a few decks, mostly UNO decks. Together they form a kind of collection, but I do use them.
To keep up professionally, I felt I needed to explore the remarkable technology of artificial intelligence for myself. Over the past few weeks, I've spent time on several personal AI projects. This is one of them.
My original goal was to create a site where anyone could learn the rules of well-known card games through an illustrated guide and simple instructions. I also wanted people to be able to try a game against bots, so they could get a better feel for the rules before playing in real life with family and friends.
As the project grew, I began asking friends and colleagues which childhood games they remembered. I started looking for games from other countries, too, and the project became something of an obsession. My goal now is to bring together as many card games from around the world as I can, with all their variants. I'm focusing on non-commercial games because of copyright concerns.
Below you'll find my growing collection of card decks. If you know a game that isn't listed, have an idea for improving the site, or simply want to share your passion for cards, please send me an email or a message on Instagram. You can find both on the contact page.
I hope the site helps you discover new games to play alone, with your family, or with friends. Happy gaming!
