26 international card game instructions
We have compiled a list and instructions of 26 international card games from all over the world to try out with your new card set. People have been playing cards together all over the world for centuries. Even though there are many different games, forms and variations, even when players don’t speak the same language, this has never stopped them from playing. Games connect people around the world. It doesn't matter where you are, what language you speak or what game you play, your success depends on your team. We all live on different continents and yet work together as one big team. Our success at work and at play depends on our teammates. Thank you for being the best team anyone could wish for.
Some of the games compiled here are known worldwide, others are more regionally based. We invite you to get to know and try out the favourite and national games of your colleagues. No matter where in the world, let's play together, dear Lödige Team.
