Types of playing cards and how to play (21–30)
speed

This is the famous card game “Speed.” As the name suggests, it’s a game that requires quick reflexes.
It’s a two-player card game, so only up to two people can play; but conversely, it’s one of the most engaging two-player games among card games.
If you don’t know the rules, please refer to the image here!
Sevens (card game)

Sevens is one of the classic trump card games.
There can’t be many people who don’t know it.
Despite its simplicity, there’s a special thrill in trying to get rid of your hand quickly while imagining your opponents’ moves and cards.
This game in particular really brings out a player’s personality in their playstyle…

Uno

This is a card game that can be played by at least two people.
First, deal the same number of cards to each player and place the remaining cards as the draw pile.
Decide the play order—for example, with rock-paper-scissors.
The dealer starts by playing one card from their hand; then, if other players have a card of the same suit in their hands, they can play it.
Players go out in order as they run out of cards, with the first to empty their hand finishing first.
Doubt

You place cards face down in order starting from 1.
When you suspect that someone has played a card different from what they claimed, you say “Doubt” and flip that card.
The game is called Doubt because it’s about being suspicious, but some families also borrowed that feel of the word and had a house rule where you play it on zabuton (floor cushions).
Can be done alone

When you think of playing cards, you probably picture a game for two or more people, right? The “Couple” using playing cards explained in this video is actually a solitaire card game you can play by yourself! Gradually reduce the cards, and it feels great when you cleanly get down to zero! Why not give it a try?
Old Maid

This is Old Maid with a twist called Jiji-nuki.
The rules are the same as Old Maid, but you enjoy the thrill of not knowing which card is the Jiji (equivalent to the Joker).
You only realize the Jiji exists after your hand is gone, so if you go out before noticing it, even small children can easily beat adults!
