About CardGamesHQ
CardGamesHQ is an independent collection of free browser card games. Each game is paired with rules and practical guidance so visitors can learn and play in one place.
What We Publish
The site focuses on playable versions of familiar card games, including Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, FreeCell, Hearts, Spades, Gin Rummy, Crazy Eights, Slapjack, and other classics. The catalog includes solo games, two-player games, family games, reaction games, and trick-taking games.
Every game page combines the playable table with an explanation of the objective, setup, legal moves, useful strategy, common variants, controls, and answers to frequent rules questions. Directory and guide pages help visitors compare games by player count, difficulty, pace, and style.
How the Games Are Maintained
The playable rules and the written rules are reviewed together. When a card game has several accepted house rules, the page identifies the version used by the browser game instead of presenting one regional variation as the only correct way to play.
Game behavior is tested around the actions that determine a result: legal moves, turn order, card draws, scoring, winning conditions, losing conditions, restarts, and saved-game behavior. Corrections are applied to both the game and its explanation when they disagree.
Accounts and Saved Data
CardGamesHQ does not require an account to play. Favorites, recently played games, ongoing game state, daily results, and personal statistics may be stored in the browser on the visitor's device so a session can continue later.
Local browser data is controlled by the visitor and can be removed through browser settings. Clearing site data, using private browsing, or changing devices may remove or separate saved progress.
Questions and Corrections
Card games often have regional names and house-rule differences. Clear correction reports are welcome, especially when they identify the exact page, the move or rule in question, and the expected behavior.
Use the Contact page for gameplay bugs, accessibility problems, rules corrections, privacy questions, or other site feedback. The Editorial Standards page explains the review approach in more detail.
