A really great resource. My usual game reference, BoardGameGeek, has a lot of the same info ultimately, but if you just want purely standard card game info, this is much better organized and displayed.

Side note: Kind of funny that the site has Deutsch and English language options, but the cookie notice is in Italian. Anyone know why that is?

I don't know why that is, but it's on purpose. They are using cookieconsent2 from NPM but overrode the message strings.

Is creating real money multiplayer versions of all these not a giant untapped opportunity? Cards and wagering are often a potent mix, yet only hold'em and rummy have gone in this direction for some reason

Legal hurdles + not a lot of interest, probably.

People who are willing to spend time to learn a game usually "converge" on games where there's a large community, and pretty much every popular game under the sun that's in the public domain has been implemented over and over.

I enjoy some games played with rook cards (or numbered cards: 4 colored suites of 14 cards each):

https://archive.org/details/rook-instruction-manual-1924-ima... (This actually has rules for more games than are found in its own table of contents.)

There are many, for different ages and effort levels. (And with minimal adaptation, the same cards can be used for games normally associated with standard playing card decks, or "go fish" for children, or whatever.)
