Games

Big Two (also known as Deuces) is a climbing-type card game played by two to four players. The goal is to be the first to get rid of all your cards. Players take turns playing combinations - singles, pairs, triples, straights, flushes, and more - that must beat the current combination on the table, or they pass. The winner of the trick leads the next round with any valid combination.

The game ends when one player empties their hand and is declared the winner.

Blackjack, also known as twenty-one, is one of the most widely played casino game in the world. Blackjack is a comparing card game played with one or more decks of 52 cards between players and the dealer.

The objective of the game is to beat the dealer in each round and to have the most chips at the end of the game.

Crazy Eights is a shedding-type card game played by two to seven players. Players take turns playing a card that matches either the suit or rank of the top card on the discard pile, and eights are wild, allowing a player to declare a new suit. If a player cannot play, they draw from the deck until they can.

The game ends when one player discards all of their cards and is declared the winner.

Elimination is a simple trick-taking card game where players are dealt seven cards each to start a seven-round match. With the player left of the dealer leading, players must follow suit to try and win at least one trick per round. Players winning zero tricks in a round are eliminated from the match. The player who's not eliminated at the end of the match is the winner.

Hearts is an 'evasion-type' trick-taking card game for four players. Each player, in clockwise order from the dealer, plays a card from their hand. Players must follow suit and can play any card, including a penalty Heart or the Queen of Spades, if they do not have the led suit. The trick and any penalty points it contains are won by the player who played the highest-value card of the suit that was led.

The objective is to be the player with the fewest points by the end of the game.

Hold'em Poker (also known as Texas Hold'em) is a variation of the standard card game of poker. Two cards (hole cards) are dealt face down to each player and then five community cards are placed face-up by the dealer - a series of three cards ('the flop'), then a single card ('the turn'), and then another card ('the river'). Players have the option to check, bet, raise or fold after each deal.

The game ends when only one player is left and is claimed the winner.

Kachuful (also known as Oh Hell, Elevator, and Judgment), is a trick-taking card game that originated in India. The game is played in rounds, where each round has a different trump suit and the players are dealt fewer cards than the prior round. The game continues until the last round, in which each player is dealt just 1 card.

The winner is the player with the most points at the end of the rounds.

Old Maid (also known as Black Peter, Pass the Lady, and Scabby Queen) is a classic shedding card game for two or more players. One Queen is removed from a standard deck so a single unpaired Queen (the Old Maid) remains in play. All cards are dealt and players immediately discard pairs of matching rank. On each turn, the active player draws one card from the previous player\'s hand. If it pairs with a card in their hand, they discard the pair. Players who empty their hand are safe.

The last player holding the unpaired Queen loses.

Pairs, also known as Memory, Pelmanism, Shinkei-suijaku, or Pexeso, is a card game in which all of the cards are laid face-down on a surface and two cards are flipped face-up each turn. The object of the game is to turn over pairs of matching cards.

The game ends when the last pair has been picked up. The winner is the person with the most pairs.

Rummy is a card game based on matching cards of the same rank or sequence and same suit. The goal in rummy is to build melds which consist of sets, three or four of a kind of the same rank; or runs, three or more cards in sequence, of the same suit. The game ends when a player discards a card and has no cards left in their hand.

Spades is a trick-taking card game for four players. Each round, players try to take at least the number of tricks (also known as 'books') that they bid before play of the hand began. Spades is a descendant of the Whist family of card games (e.g., Hearts, Kachuful), except the Spade suit is always the trump suit.

The objective is to be the player with the most points by the end of the game.

Wild Jacks is a tactical, team-based game in which a hand of cards determines where each player can place their team stones on a board.

The objective for each player/team is to get 1 or 2 lines of 5 stones on the board.

Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games. This two-player game is played on a board with a track of 12 long triangles, called points. The two players move their pieces in opposing directions, from the 24-point towards the 1-point.

A player wins by removing all of his/her pieces from the board before his/her opponent.

Farkle (also known as 10,000, Greed, and Zilch) is a press-your-luck dice game for two to six players. On each turn, a player rolls six dice and must set aside at least one scoring die before choosing to roll again or bank their points. Rolling dice that produce no scoring combinations (a Farkle) ends the turn with zero points. Hot Dice occur when all six dice score, allowing the player to roll all six again and add to their turn score.

The first player to reach the target score triggers the final round, giving all others one last turn. The player with the highest score after the final round wins.

Liar's dice is a game of deception played by three to five players. Starting with five dice per player, each round, each player either makes a bid (face value and count) of what he/she believes is present in all the dice. If a player challenges the previous bid, all dice are revealed and the loser of the challenge removes one dy for the next round.

The game ends when only one player is left with dice, and is claimed the winner.

Ludo is a board game for two to four players in which the players race their four tokens from start to finish according to die rolls.

The first to bring all their tokens to the finish wins the game. The others continue play to determine second-, third-, and fourth-place finishers.
