Card games have been around for centuries and are believed to have originated in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). From there, card games spread to the Middle East and Europe, eventually becoming popular worldwide.

Card games evolved from simple games of chance to more complex strategic games like Bridge and Poker. Different regions developed their own variations of card games, leading to a wide variety of games played today.

Bridge is believed to have originated from an earlier card game called Whist in the 19th century. It became popular in the early 20th century and is now one of the most popular card games in the world.

Poker has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century in the United States. It gained popularity during the Civil War and has since become one of the most widely played card games, both in casinos and online.
