How is Matching and Shedding Card Games different from Casino and Scoring Card Games?
The dividing line is matching or shedding play, as in Rummy and Uno, versus wagering or vying play, as in Blackjack and Poker.
Matching and Shedding Card Games covers card games won by matching sets or by being first to empty one's hand, such as Canasta, Gin Rummy, Klondike, Rummy, Uno and War. Casino and Scoring Card Games instead covers games centered on wagering against a bank or other players, such as Blackjack and Poker, so the dividing line is set-matching or shedding play versus wagering or vying play.
