Whist could be called "Bridge, Jr"-- and though it is not as huge a video game as it when was, and is overshadowed in popularity by big-brother Bridge, Whist has never ever actually died out. Card players like trick-taking games-- vanquishing your opponent in such a visual way is among the more interesting part of any card video game.

The more popular versions are called Gin Rummy, Liverpool Rummy, and Contract Rummy. The feature that makes a video game a Rummy is a player matching similar cards into sets and other groups. Some specialists believe the Chinese game of Mahjong is part of the Rummy family, though I 'd wager the Chinese are simply fine with Mahjong as it is.

This is a face to face game, though there's in fact little interaction between the two opponents. The last couple of moments of any video game of Speed reminds me of solitaire on fast-forward, with cards and hands flying around and rows draining and forming like water pipes. Unusual game, Speed.
