CARD GAMES

Card games are also popularly known as card games. They are actually games that use a set of cards, also called a deck.

There are a number of types, some of which may be individual (A good example of this is computer or physical “patience”) or collective, ie they are played with more people in teams or alone.

But when was the emergence? Basically, there are records of this type of game since the tenth century BC. The first evidence was found in the East, where they were found in small thin strips of paper.

When they arrived in the west, they quickly became famous. The success of the "decks" began to gain strength already in the sixteenth century, where they spread throughout the world.

Due to the wide variety it is impossible to count how many types of cards there are in the world. This is because, many of them have spent centuries informally, ie never reached the industry and for this reason, lost themselves over time.

There is a collection called "The Best Games in the World". In it, at least 128 game options are cataloged and presented to the reader.

But not only that, besides all these games, each one has its own characteristics that vary, even from region to region.
