About Big Card Games

Classic card games that are easy to see and easy to play.

Many card games online are built for small screens and sharp eyes: tiny cards, cramped buttons, and scores that appear without explanation. Big Card Games takes the opposite approach. The cards are as large as your screen allows, every button is easy to tap, and the game always tells you what just happened and why.

We started with cribbage because it is a wonderful game that is hard to find a partner for, and because its scoring is the part people most often get wrong. Our version counts every hand for you and explains each point, so it is a good way to learn the game as well as to play it. Gin rummy followed, with your melds sorted and your deadwood counted for you.

Since then we’ve added the games people asked for: more than a dozen solitaires, Hearts, Spades, Euchre and Pinochle with computer partners, Rummy 500, American mahjong, and casino classics like Blackjack and video poker. The casino games use play chips only: there is no real money, nothing to buy and nothing to cash out.

What we promise

• The games are free to play, with no account and nothing to download.
• The computer plays fairly: it only uses information a real player would have.
• We don’t ask for your name, email or any personal details to play. See our privacy policy.
