Types of card games and how to play them (21–30)
Yokote
This is a card game that anyone familiar with the Trump game Indian Poker can start playing right away.
It’s a simple game where you hold a card to your forehead and guess your own card based on what your opponent says, using exactly the same method.
It’s a card game I recommend for anyone who wants to casually enjoy psychological battles!
Recipe
It’s a game where each player draws one type of menu card and aims to collect ingredients that match that menu.
For each ingredient set, you need six specific cards.
On your turn, you discard any unwanted ingredient from your hand, draw from the deck, and the first player to complete their set of ingredient cards wins.
You can learn about cooking ingredients while playing, making it a fun and educational game.

Word Basket
Word Basket is a card game inspired by shiritori.
It’s a simple game where players say three-letter words they associate with the hiragana written on the cards, and I think it’s very helpful for children’s education.
If you get stuck, you can look for another card and rephrase your word, so it seems like you can stay engaged right up to the very end!
Shephy: a game you can relax and enjoy solo
Among non-playing-card games, this is a somewhat unusual single-player game.
The objective is to increase your flock to 1,000 sheep.
It features an easygoing atmosphere and very cute artwork.
It’s also available as a smartphone app and software for handheld game consoles.
Doburu: five delights in a single bite
Both the shapes and the rules are unique.
Each card has eight illustrations, and no matter which two cards you pair, there will always be exactly one matching illustration.
The biggest appeal is that this feature enables five different ways to play.
“Seasons: The Wizard’s Duel,” where you aim for victory over a three-year magic contest
Players take on the role of wizards and battle against other players.
The match ends after cycling through the four seasons three times (i.e., after three years’ worth of turns).
Although the physical version uses various tools in addition to cards and may feel a bit daunting at first, it’s easy to play casually online.
Fab Fib: a battle of wits between liars
It’s a type of bluffing game where players both tell lies and try to see through them.
Each player has their own life points, which decrease as the game progresses, and the way those life points are displayed is uniquely charming and cute.
