About Us
We have happy memories of family and friends sitting around the table playing various card games. These days it is as simple as turning on a computer and playing card games on your computer, PDA or even phone.
We had come across many people who enjoyed playing cards, but who knew nothing about playing cards on the computer or online against other players. They knew how to play cards, and they used computers, but just did not know where or what was required to play in an online game.
While it can be challenging to play against the computer, there are only just so many games of solitaire, freecell and hearts and spider, that you can play before your are looking for something new.
Many favourite card games are available online, often for free and even the simplest of games will feature great graphics and sound effects. Whether you opt to play a single-player game or a multi-player game, the options are limitless.
And so the idea was born.The Deck of Cards was created as a starting point - an Information Resource Center
- to collate current information from world wide sources about card games online,
- to foster easier access to up to date resources to improve the online card playing experience,
- to encourage both existing card players, and new card players, to join the online card community.
- to promote playing cards online to increase player numbers and diversity within the card playing community.
Here we have assembled basic details on how to play some of the most popular card games. This is not meant to be a list of all card game rules, but rather a helpful guide to some of the most popular card games available to play online. Different game sites have a number of minor variations and their own house rules in how the games are played so it is a good idea to check those before playing.
We have endeavored to present a wide variety of informational links and resources and we will regularly maintain the site to keep information up to date.
We welcome and appreciate any feedback you may have. Please contact us if you have any suggestions, comments, amendments or recommended additions to this site. This would be appreciated.
