Card Games

 

"It is quite right that there should be a heavy duty on cards; not only on moral grounds...not only to fill the hunger of the public purse, which is always empty, however much you may put into it; but also because every pack of cards is a malicious libel on courts, and on the world, seeing that the trumpery with number one at the head is the best part of them; and that it gives kings and queens no other companions than knaves."
-- Southey

 

Be that as it may . . . 

We think card games are great fun, and we are actually devoted playing card collectors as well.  If knaves must be our daily companions, as seems a man's fate, then let them be the cardboard kind.  Assuming you agree, you'll want to explore the following sections of our site:
