With this platform, traditional playing card games from all over the world are brought together, to be “discovered and re-discovered.” It includes easy how-to-play access, game rules, and even how-to-play videos.

With the launch of stayandplay.cards, Cartamundi—most famous for its brands like Bicycle, Fournier, Ace, Grimaud, and Copag— and Intracto, have pledged to “bring back the joy of playing card games to the world”.

"Our goal is to help people enjoy being together & making the most out of this difficult time, because in addition to operating our businesses as usual, we believe our companies also have a duty towards society," both companies said in a statement.

The companies believe this project should be available to the entire world, and the card games included should be relevant to all. To achieve this, the site includes the most famous games, alongside country or culturally specific card games.

"Cartamundi is a global group with a strong local network. The stayandplay.cards platform is a unique collaboration between all the different Cartamundi companies, to connect people," says Stefaan Merckx, CEO of Cartamundi. "It is the perfect way to make our purpose ’Sharing the Magic of Playing Together’ tangible."

When the platform launched on April 1st, it included a total of 75 card games. New games will be added regularly. In the spirit of growing a global card game playing community,  the companies plan, in the coming weeks, the ability for users to add and suggest additional content.

Intracto CEO Pieter Janssens says: "When we received a call about the project, we were immediately excited. In moments of crisis, a company must look for ways to give back to society. In this way, we help to make this additional 'family time' more fun. We are proud to be a part of this project. A big thank you to our team and to the experts of Cartamundi for stepping up and creating this project so quickly."
