Online Card Games

By: L Hemenway

In a society that seems to focus on the differences between people, is often nice to discover little ways in which we are all similar. For example, we all enjoy music, movies, and the company of good friends. And, at some moment in our lives, we have all played cards. Now, some of us have played bridge, and some of us have played poker, but at one time or another, we've all attempted some form of a card game. The understanding that an ace, which is really just the "one," is automatically the highest card in the deck, is something that is ingrained into us at such a young age, that were more than likely unable to remember when it was exactly that we learned this fact.

And it's not just the games, if the vernacular associated with the games that have really embedded itself into the subconscious of your average American. Terms like "trump," "royal flush," "clubs," and "dead man's hand," have wormed their way into our culture. And why shouldn't this be the case, card games are amongst the oldest and most popular games, to hit the good old USA.

But now that card games have found their way to the internet, they've become even bigger. My father, for example, is a life-long bridge player. -And a pretty good one. But at the age of 82, he's now able to play bridge without leaving his home. Sure, he has the same conversations, and tells the same jokes. He just does it without the hassle of having to drive to the local bridge studio. And it is not like it was an easy transition for him. My father was not quite ready for the World Wide Web. In fact, his only definition for the word "mouse," was that of the "Mickey" variety.

And it's not just games for teams, like bridge, or spades, that have made the transition to the online world. It's also games like solitaire. A recent release by Jenkatgames (Jenkatgames.com) entitled "Fresh Air Solitaire," really manages to bring the game firmly into the 21st century. Players are able to play a more robust, and exhilarating game of solitaire, without having to once shuffle the cards.

Fresh air solitaire enables players to progress through a series of levels. -each represented by a different outdoor environment. Lush sound effects accompany the experience. Sounds such as birds, frogs, and other wildlife, create a relaxing, and soothing environment in which to enjoy the game. So, what's nice is, even if it's snowing, or raining outside, Fresh Air Solitaire allows the player to feel as if they're enjoying a game in paradise.

Card games have made a big impact on the world, and our nation specifically. This impact has been felt significantly, and most recently, on the Internet. A good game, is a good game.-and it's really as simple as that. And card games, even perhaps solitaire in particular, have proven that time and time again.
