While it is not a game strictly speaking
building a house of cards is fun. The foundation is two card placed facing each other on the short end of the card and a card is place on either side of the two cards. As you move out you can also move up in height. Sounds easy right...NOT!!!! The slightest breath of air can tumble your card castle in seconds. The secret is to not breathe
have a window open
or anyone in the room with you. Since that isn’t possible
you need to be extremely light handed while building your card house.

Card decks have the number and the suit imprinted on the front with some kind of a design on the back. They are printed with a plain matte finish
a glossy finish or no real finishing at all. Laminated card decks are best because they will last much longer than other types of decks.
