 Card Games This site features rules and variations for all kinds of card games.

You will also find rules and variations for the old standards, from Old Maid to Poker, Euchre, Bridge. Canasta and more! Tired of fighting over the rules? Save the rules of your favorite games from this site, add your local variations, in your word processor, print them out, and no more arguements! (Well okay, maybe a few)
