Line 31: Other types of playing card decks are in use in Europe and Asia. These include French tarot, Italian tarot and Indian ganjifa. [[Mahjong]] may be considered a close cousin despite using tiles.

Then there are [[Collectible Card Game~~\|Collectible Card Games~~]]s (CCGs). This genre combines the collectability of, for instance, baseball cards, with the mechanics of a card game. They generally have vivid artwork and complicated effects and strategies. Some take place in an original universe, and others are tie-ins to movies or TV series. Some are massively popular, with [[Tournament Play\|tournaments]] and thousands of cards. Between these are "dedicated deck" card games, which use cards with illustrations to implement whatever game concept the designer had.
