Free Card Games Online

The card table, minus the need to gather four people. The trick-taking classics are all here with computer opponents that play a fair, readable game: Hearts (dodge the queen of spades), Spades (bid your hand and make it), Euchre (the fast trump game with a real going-alone bonus) and Cribbage, complete with the pegging board and the show.

For lighter shedding and matching games, deal into Crazy Eights (the game the famous color-matching card game grew out of), President, Sevens, Speed, Go Fish, Old Maid or plain War. Gin Rummy sits in the middle: easy to learn, hard to put down, with knocking and undercuts scored properly.

There is also a small casino corner played purely for fun: Blackjack, Video Poker and Higher or Lower use pretend chips, never real money. Every table uses full-size readable cards and deals again instantly. Looking for one-player patience games instead? That whole family lives on the solitaire page.
