The Cardistry Game (Standard) Playing Cards by Biz and Friends

Turn a cardistry session into a table-wide showdown with The Cardistry Game (Standard) Playing Cards by Biz and Friends. Players perform the flourishes shown on game cards, and the last player with cards left in their performing deck wins.

Bring it to a jam session, convention, or Discord gathering. You can play in person or online, making it a lively challenge even when your cardistry friends are far away.

How the game plays

• Bring your decks: You need one Cardistry Game deck, plus a deck for each player to perform with.
• Build the challenge: Players reveal game cards and perform the indicated flourishes; after three piles form, play continues on those piles, with up to three moves to perform.
• Risk and reward: A failed cut costs four cards from your performing deck for every game card in that packet; run out and you’re out.
• Play your way: The included instructions cover rules for all skill levels and four additional gameplays, including options for playing by yourself.
• Expect surprises: Special cards change the performance requirements or challenge players to do specific things.

The deck features designs from cardistry and playing-card names including The Virts, Fontaine Cards, Cardistry Touch, Bicycle Cards, and Lotus In Hand. Use the game’s variety of moves to practice your cardistry, spark ideas for new flourishes, or set up a live championship at your next convention.
