About Card Games Studio

What we make

We run one site per game rather than one arcade with everything on it. A person looking up how Cribbage pegging works and a person who wants to deal a hand of Cribbage right now are usually the same person ten seconds apart, and a dedicated site can serve both without burying either. The trade-off is that the portfolio is spread across many domains, so the list below names every one of them.

Every game runs entirely in your browser. There are no accounts to create and nothing to install or download. Games are free, and we use no tracking cookies and no third-party advertising cookies. Where a game remembers your progress, statistics, or settings, it stores them in your own browser’s local storage, which means clearing your browser data clears them too.

How the games are built

The games share a common foundation. One engine handles the parts every card game needs, such as building and shuffling a deck, dealing hands, and running turns, and shared families of code sit on top of it for the game types that behave alike: solitaire layouts with undo and redo, trick-taking games with suit-following and trump, and rummy games with melds and deadwood.

What is not shared is the opponent. Each game has its own AI, written against that game’s actual strategy, because a Hearts opponent that dodges the queen of spades has almost nothing in common with a Spit opponent racing you on reaction time. Difficulty settings, where a game has them, change how that specific AI thinks rather than simply slowing it down.

The rules pages here are written by hand, one game at a time, and revised as we notice gaps. Where a rule genuinely varies between households or regions, we say so rather than pretending there is a single official answer.

Corrections

If a rules page here contradicts how you play a game, or a game itself behaves in a way the rules say it should not, we would rather know. The privacy policy and terms cover the housekeeping side of these sites.
