I have a large collection of other modern games, but over the years I have learned a lot of card games with a traditional deck, and I find myself often coming back to them - especially when I have a custom deck in my hands! But what card games should you play? Most people have learned a handful of card games at best, but the truth is that there is just a whole world of wonderful card games out there, just waiting to be discovered and explored.

And during moments of down time, when you are staring at a hand of cards, you can savour the stunning artwork and just enjoy the creativity. That way you actually get to use the deck, and others get to enjoy it too. And maybe you can even take them for an occasional spin with some high flying card flourishing, or use them for some card tricks.īut one of the best ways to enjoy a wonderful custom deck is by using it for a card game. You can even take out the cards from time to time, to feel their embossed and papery touch in your hand, and remind them that they are loved. Now what? You can certainly put it quietly and safely on your display shelf, occasionally looking at it out of the corner of your eye to remind you that it is really yours, give an admiring glance at the exquisite tuck case, and get a fuzzy feeling inside knowing that it contains some wonderful cards within.

So maybe you have a beautiful deck of custom playing cards.
