Ganjifa cards have a
history of more than 300 years. A pack of ganjifa cards consists of ninety-six cards; they are
generally circular and made of ivory, tortoise shell, thin wood or hard board material. Dancing, hunting, worshipping, and processions are some of the
subjects painted on the cards. Some more patterns:
1,
2,
3,
4,
5. However, Ganjifa today is a
craft in a
crisis.

1000 white cards The game is fairly simple. You take a lot of index cards, cut them in half, draw your own cards and play them on each other.

The Game of 1000 Blank White Cards. Yesterday's talk about
Game Neverending and Nomic reminded me of this outside-the-box game that was first brought to my attention by an article in GAMES Magazine earlier this year. The game is quite simple: Before you play, you have to think up and create the cards. Create them how? What goes on them? How do you play? Anything goes.

Here's a gift for all. Someone got a deceptively simple card game as a stocking stuffer. Three shapes. Three colors. Three shades. Three different numbers of objects. Put 3 things together that are completely similar or completely different, for all four variables. It's a card game that instantly sucked several of us in and felt like playing Tetris the first time. Go ahead and
give it a try (note, I've been playing this for a couple hours today and I could only find 4 of the 6 possible sets).
