Dedicated deck card games are card games with decks that are specific to that game, rather than using standard playing cards. By the early nineteenth century, educational games were being created, such as "The Historical Game of Grecian History", created by John Wallis. Today's collectible card games are played with dedicated decks.
Famous quotes containing the words dedicated, deck, card and/or game:
“Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his people’s advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“At twenty-two, he’d been a cowboy, a rustler, one of the best in the Sprawl....

—William Gibson b. (1948)
