The Basics

Today I learned the basics of what a card game needs to have. It needs to have a set deck size (52 or 54 [with Jokers]). You need to have a power order. The usual power order is 2 to Ace. You need to have a winning or losing condition (how you win). You usually need to have a points system so you can track who is winning overall. If not a points system, there is always a winning/losing condition (how you win). Through the following week, I will be brainstorming about what I want these to be.
