Typical Nature and Terminologies of Card Games

Every card game has certain restrictions and rules that need to be followed by all the players taking part in the game. Restrictions differ from one card game to another and differ with the number of people taking part in the game. Many card games involve distribution of all or certain number of cards to the players. Most two player games do not share all the cards between two players, because it would tell what card the competitor has.

Popular examples of two player games include cribbage, gin rummy, klaberjass, sixty six and bezique. In cases where there are more than two players in a game, the direction of play is either counter clock wise or clock wise. In a few regions, the direction of play is fixed, such as in South America and Asia, the direction of play is counter-clockwise, whereas in Australia and America clockwise is followed.

Dealer is altered from player to player in each game, because of the advantage or disadvantage that a dealer has. The responsibility of a dealer usually passes to the next player in line after each hand. A hand is the period of game until the next player is determined. A hand is also referred to as the number of cards that a person is holding in his or her hand. Shuffling is referred to the process of mixing up or putting the number of cards in the stack into random order.
