These are the ten most popular card games on the site right now, ranked by how many people are reading the rules. If you are not sure what to play next, this is a good place to start.
The ranking is based on unique visitors to each game's rules page over the last 90 days. The list is rebuilt every night, last on September 10, 2026. Arrows show movement against the 90-day period that ended 30 days ago.
1 President
A shedding game where you race to empty your hand by playing higher cards or sets than the player before you. Where you finish sets your rank for the next deal, from president down to bum, and the bum has to hand their two best cards to the winner. That trade is what keeps a group coming back for one more deal.
2 24 ↑ 5
A number puzzle where four cards are turned up and everyone races to reach 24, using each value once with basic arithmetic. The first to find a working sum takes the cards. It is a friendly way to sharpen mental maths, and children often spot answers faster than the adults.
3 Klondike ↑ 5
The solitaire most people picture when they hear the word, the one that shipped with countless computers. You uncover the columns and move every card up to four foundations, each built by suit from ace to king. Not every deal can be won, which is part of why finishing one feels satisfying.
4 Casino ↓ 2
The table is a pond you fish cards out of, either with a matching card or with a total you build up and collect a turn or two later. The ten of diamonds and the two of spades carry most of the points and rarely come free. It plays best with two, and every turn asks what you dare leave on the table.
5 Remi ↑ 4
A rummy in seven rounds, each with a contract of sets and runs that has to go down in a single turn before you may touch the table. Jokers cover the gaps, and a card someone discards can be bought if you take a penalty card with it. Lowest total after the last round wins.
6 Stress ↓ 2
Everyone plays at once and nobody waits for a turn. You trade one card at a time with the four face-up cards in the middle, trying to fill each of your piles with four of a kind. The first player to finish shouts Stress and takes the game.
7 War ↑ 8
About as simple as a card game gets: each player flips a card and the higher one wins the pair. When two cards match, a small battle breaks out for the whole pile. There are no real decisions to make, which is exactly why it works so well for very young children.
8 Pyramid Solitaire ↓ 5
The cards are laid out in a pyramid, and you clear it by pairing cards that add up to thirteen. Kings leave on their own, queens go with aces, jacks with twos, and so on down the deck. Only uncovered cards can be taken, so the order you pull the pyramid apart in decides how far you get.
9 Ligretto ↑ 9
Played all at once with no turns, as everyone races to shed cards onto shared centre piles. The first to clear their main stack calls out and the round ends. It is loud, quick, and best with a few players who do not mind a scramble.
10 500 Rummy ↓ 4
A rummy game where you lay down runs and matching sets for points, with picture cards and aces worth the most. Reaching a buried card in the discard pile means taking every card above it too, so a good dig needs some planning. Scores build round by round until someone passes 500.
