Card Games

Baccarat (Punto Banco) is a standard casino card game where players bet on whether the 'Player' hand or 'Banker' hand will achieve a point total closest to 9, or on a Tie. Cards 2–9 are face value, 10s and face cards count as 0, and Aces count as 1. Fixed mathematical tableau rules dictate when a third card must be drawn.

Blackjack (21) is a casino banking game where players compete against the dealer to achieve a hand value closer to 21 without exceeding it (busting). Standard rules payout natural Blackjacks at 3:2, require dealers to stand on hard 17 (and often soft 17), allow doubling down on initial two-card totals, and offer 2:1 insurance against a dealer Ace.

Contract Bridge is a trick-taking card game for four players in two fixed partnerships, governed internationally by the World Bridge Federation (WBF). Play consists of an auction bidding phase to determine the contract (trump suit and number of tricks required above 6) followed by card play, scored using vulnerability and penalty multipliers.

Hearts is an evasion-style trick-taking card game for 4 individual players where the objective is to avoid scoring penalty points. Each Heart card taken in tricks counts as 1 penalty point, and the Queen of Spades counts as 13 penalty points. If a single player takes all 26 penalty points in one hand ('Shoots the Moon'), all opponents receive 26 points instead.

Poker hand rankings define the universal hierarchy of 5-card hands in poker standards, ranging from Royal Flush (1 in 649,740) down to High Card. Flushes beat Straights, Full Houses beat Flushes, and Four of a Kind beats Full Houses. Ties are broken by the highest ranked cards within the combination, followed by kickers.

Spades is a standard 4-player partnership trick-taking card game where Spades are permanently the trump suit. Players simultaneously bid the exact number of tricks they expect to win. Bidding Nil awards a +100 point bonus (or -100 penalty), while taking extra tricks beyond the bid accumulates 'bags', triggering a 100-point penalty for every 10 bags.

Texas Hold'em is the world's standard poker variant where players receive two private hole cards and share five community cards to construct the best 5-card hand. Play proceeds through four distinct betting rounds: Pre-flop, Flop (3 cards), Turn (1 card), and River (1 card), governed by blind positions and table action rules.

Uno is a 108-card shedding game governed by official Mattel standards. Official rules strictly prohibit stacking draw cards (+2 on +2 or +4 on +4); affected players must draw and forfeit their turn. Players may legally finish on action cards, and a Wild Draw 4 may only be played when holding no cards of the active color.
