In trick-taking games a multiple number of rounds (or tricks) are played. Every player plays a single card from a hand, and depending on the values of played cards a player can win or "take" the trick. To these card game types refers bridge, spades, hearts and Tarot card games.

Also drinking card game types are interesting. From a name of these card game types we can understand that you will have to drink. And this is right. If you lose you will have to drink a beverage with high  level pf alcohol, if you win - you don't need to drink. These card game types continue until one of the players is drunk.

The main objective of matching games is to collect the required groups of matching cards before an opponent can do the same. For example, in Rummy (a famous matching card game) this is done through drawing or discarding. The groups are called melds.

In accumulating card game types the object is to acquire all cards in the deck or in other words to accumulate them. In comparing games all the players compare their cards. In these card game types wins the player who has the highest cards. Solitaire card games can play a single player. And in multi-genre games different rules from other card game types can be borrowed.
