Cards & Tankards is a silly, fun VR game . Playing cards in a virtual tavern is such a simple idea, but it works surprisingly well here. Definitely worth giving a shot if you’ve got a VR headset and want something a little different.

I've been playing Cards and Tankards for about 5 years now, and it's been a blast. The best VR friendly card game on the market tbh, and it is only getting better. Updates come pretty frequently, along with balance patches that keep the game fresh. The only thing that the game needs is more visibility, once it gets that I don't see anything stopping it. Give it a try!
