Well, World of Card Games solves that problem. No one is coordinating the deck of cards. They could do a Zoom call or Skype or FaceTime, but you can’t play cards together so well that way. A lot of the fun comes from the social contact with loved ones and friends - people that they know. For them, I guess, the fun is not just about the game per se. Well, it turns out that a lot of people don’t enjoy playing with just any old stranger (imagine that!!). People who are pretty extroverted like that might never even realize there’s a private table feature at the site, unless they dig around for the information in the blog or in the FAQ. But it does take a bit of courage to play with total strangers. After all, it’s so easy to play, even without being registered (although there are some benefits to registering). They’d do an online search, find the site, and hop right in to play with complete strangers online. Maybe they missed playing with their friends from the navy, or from college, or with relatives as they were growing up. I imagined the typical player was someone who really enjoyed a specific type of card game: Euchre, Double Deck Pinochle, Hearts, Spades, etc. Does this surprise you? I didn’t expect it when I first started running the site. One of the most common features that people use at World of Card Games is the “ private table” feature.
