All About Cards

Solitaire (also known as Patience) is one of the most popular card games ever invented.

Rummy is such a monumental cornerstone of card gaming that it can’t really be thought of as a single game. It is more of a family of games that has evolved into popular variations like Gin, Canasta, and Hand and Foot. While each variation has its own peculiarities.
