Types of Playing Cards and How to Play (11–20)
domino toppling
This is more of a card-handling technique than a card game! You often see magicians do it when they shuffle cards.
When you actually try it, you’ll realize it’s more difficult than you expect.
If you want to shuffle stylishly, practice is the only way!
nervous breakdown
Concentration is a game where you turn cards face down and try to find pairs with the same number.
It tests your memory and your intuition.
They say it becomes even more interesting if you play not with just one deck of cards, but with several.
There’s a limit to how much you can memorize, but on the other hand, you could also say there are plenty of matching cards.
Ikkyu-san
Flip over the face-down cards, and if the cards 1, 9, and 3 appear, quickly place your hand on them.
The last person to put their hand on the cards takes all the cards that have been turned over and accumulated up to that point, and the person with the fewest cards at the end wins.
There is also a similar game called Shichi-Go-San (Seven-Five-Three).
Daifugō (also known as Daifugō/Daifugō; literally “Grand Pauper,” the Japanese card game often called President/Scum)
There are various local rules, but the basic format is that after the cards are dealt evenly, players play rock-paper-scissors, and the winner leads by playing a card.
Each card has a strength based on its number, and players must play a card stronger than the one previously played.
The first person to play all of their cards wins.
The mind games around card strength make for very heated matches!
Page One
Page One is a game where you must keep playing cards of the same suit as the first card played, with higher numbers.
If you can’t play a card, you must take all the cards there.
The name comes from declaring “Page One” when you have one card left.
Find the culprit!
This is a magic-infused playing card game called “Find the Culprit.” Players split into two sides: thieves and police.
Can the thieves escape the police to the very end!? It’s a heart-pounding card game where every card you flip raises the tension.
There aren’t many rules to learn, so if you’re bored with ordinary card games, give this one a try!
