The fishing game now has its base rules and eleven playable regional versions together on one page.
The base game also represents Cypriot Bastra: match ranks or add number cards to capture from the table, and score a bastra when an ordinary card clears it. Choose a version above the table to change the game, illustrated guide and rules.
Truco, Butifarra, Neuf and Costly Colours join the table.
Four games from Brazil, Catalonia, Canada and England are now ready to play.
Truco brings its raised stakes and moving trump rank. Butifarra is a Catalan partnership game with exacting play rules. In Neuf, a hidden spare hand may change the course of a trick-taking deal. Costly Colours asks you to trade a card and count toward 31 while collecting combinations.
Each page has a playable version followed by its rules and background.
Australian Patience, Autumn Leaves, James Bond and Jukha join the table.
Two patience games and two matching games bring four different ways to build, swap and pass cards.
Australian Patience offers turn-based and simultaneous play against a bot, racing across eight shared foundations. Autumn Leaves, invented by Toby Ord, asks you to build descending suited runs. In James Bond, swap cards with the centre to complete piles of four matching ranks. Jukha challenges you to judge face-down offers and leave the table with four equal cards.
Each game has its rules and background below the playable table.
Gringo, Blackjack, Toepen and Quadrille join the table.
Four more games are ready to play, from a memory challenge to an eighteenth-century auction game.
Gringo asks you to remember hidden cards and keep your score low. In Blackjack, decide when to hit, stand, double or split. Toepen saves the win for the fourth and final trick, with a knock that raises the risk. Quadrille invites four players to bid, choose trumps and discover a hidden partner.
Each page pairs a playable table with rules, background and variants.
Three very different games are now ready to play: a Brazilian rummy game, a two-player contest with open hands, and a classic matching game.
In Pife, draw and discard while trying to form a complete nine-card hand of sets and suited runs. In Mate, both hands are visible as you try to lead a card the other player cannot answer in suit or rank. In Old Maid, draw an unseen card, select and discard your own pairs, and avoid being left with the unmatched Queen.
Each page has a playable game followed by its rules, so you can try a round and then take the game to your own table.
The table is open. Today we are launching a growing collection of card games you can try directly in your browser.
Each game has its own page, with a playable version first and the rules close below. The aim is to make it easy to discover a game, learn how it works, and then play it with friends and family away from the screen.
There are 27 playable games at launch, from familiar favourites to games played in particular countries and communities. You can browse the A–Z index, search by a game's other names, or filter the collection by player count and category. We will use this blog to note the games added next.
