Euchre or eucre is a trick-taking card game most commonly played with four people in two partnerships with a deck of 24, 28, or sometimes 32, standard playing cards.

It is the game responsible for introducing the joker into modern packs; this was invented around 1860 to act as a top trump or best bower (from the German word Bauer, "farmer", denoting also the jack).

It is believed to be closely related to the French game Écarté that was popularized in the United States by the Cornish and Pennsylvania Dutch, and to the seventeenth-century game of bad repute Loo.

It may be sometimes referred to as Knock Euchre to distinguish it from Bid Euchre.

Patience, or solitaire as it is known in the US and Canada, is a genre of card games that can be played by a single player.

Patience games can also be played in a head-to-head fashion with the winner selected by a scoring scheme.

A card game is any game using playing cards as the primary device with which the game is played, be they traditional or game-specific.

Countless card games exist, including families of related games (such as poker).

A small number of card games played with traditional decks have formally standardized rules, but most are folk games whose rules vary by region, culture, and person.

Hearts is an "evasion-type" trick-taking playing card game for four players, although variations can accommodate 3–6 players.

The game is also known as Black Lady, The Dirty, Dark Lady, Slippery Anne, Chase the Lady, Crubs, Black Queen and Black Maria, though any of these may refer to the similar but differently-scored game Black Lady.

The game is a member of the Whist family of trick-taking games (which also includes Bridge and Spades), but the game is unique among Whist variants in that it is an evasion-type game; players avoid winning certain penalty cards in tricks, usually by avoiding winning tricks altogether.

Spades is a trick-taking card game devised in the United States in the 1930s.

It can be played as either a partnership or solo/"cutthroat" game.

The object is to take at least the number of tricks (also known as "books") that were bid before play of the hand began.

Spades is a descendant of the Whist family of card games, which also includes Bridge, Hearts, and Oh Hell.

Its major difference as compared to other Whist variants is that, instead of trump being decided by the highest bidder or at random, the Spade suit is always trumps, hence the name.
