Today is the official start of Cardgames.club. A good time to talk a little about the world of traditional card games and about my plans with this website.
On Cardgames.club you’ll find traditional, or classic, card games. These are the card games, played with suited playing cards. The French suits, hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs are the most common and have been spreading around the world for many centuries. In a few places, like the south of Germany, Spain and Latin America for example, the suits are swords, batons, cups and coins, which can also be used to play traditional card games.
My favorite pastime is playing cards, no doubt about it, but right next to it is watching good movies. Sometimes I get lucky and those two are combined and a card playing scene shows up in a movie.
