With just yourself and a deck of cards, you can easily play over a hundred different card games by yourself like Solitaire or Free Cell, but for those out there that like card games to be a more social affair, there are an endless supply of games that can be played with two or more partners. The plus side to taking up card games as a hobby is that a standard deck of cards can cost less than a dollar for an inexpensive deck, and you actually don’t even need a partner to begin playing games.
The reasons behind this are many, but perhaps the main reason is that from a simple deck of cards, there are literally thousands of different games that one could play, and due to the versatility of card players, new games can be created by anyone at anytime.
Card games have been around for centuries, at least since playing cards where invented, which was somewhere around the seventh century, and they don’t seem to be going anywhere any time soon. One of the earliest forms of entertainment that has lasted the test of time is also one of today’s most common hobbies.
