These types of games are the most traditional kind, and probably what most people think of when asked about card games. In these games, players have a hand of cards and the table will include a draw pile and a discard pile. These games usually allow a player to draw the top card of either pile or in some cases more than one card. The turn of a player usually ends with them discarding a card into the discard pile to improve their hand to some goal for the game.
