Card games: rules and strategy
Card game breakdowns, from Hearts to Argentine truco: the deal, the play, scoring and the habits that separate regulars from beginners.
Truco one on one: the deck, the ranking, envido and when to lie
Truco is the rare card game where good cards help but do not decide anything. What decides is how convincingly you pretend. Here is the deck, the ranking, the betting and where the lying lives.
Lotería online: 54 picture cards, a 4×4 tabla and one loud shout
Pictures instead of numbers, beans instead of chips, and a shout at the end. Mexican bingo moves into a browser tab surprisingly well — you just have to bring your own singsong.
Crazy eights, Mau-Mau and the whole card-shedding family

Durak takes a minute to explain and years to stop losing at. Here is the podkidnoy version step by step, from the first deal to the endgame after the deck runs dry.
