Card Games: Other Objectives

This page is part of the index of card games classified by objective.

Inevitably, some card games have objectives that do no involve capturing, accumulating, shedding, combining or comparing cards. Here are some examples:

• Three card Monte: the object is to identify a card.
• Mafia / Werewolf: the object is to discover the secret identity of the other players, and eliminate players of the opposing team.
• Pegs and Jokers: the object is to move pegs around the board by playing cards that move them forwards.

Further examples can be found on the Invented and Commercial games pages.
