A certain character in my latest novel is supposed to be a total card game afficianato. Though it's in a neo fantasy setting, he uses a number of modern and traditional games such as his regular solitare, and Tarot cards to bemuse his opponents with.

The problem is, It's been troubling trying to figure out the correct language for the game, since he's supposed to have an eerie mannerism of talking in metaphors of cards, and games in general. Wikipedia's not helping much, either. :(

So far, I've got a list of:

Fold
Hand
Pass
Turn
Facedown
Flip
Deck
Draw
Stalemate
Wildcard
Cardsharp
Ace
Royal Flush

I know there are more but I just can't think of any. Anyone else know some?

Would "Pick a card, any card" count? *wracks brain for more* Sorry, that's about the only one I can think of at the moment.

Nice avatar, by the way.
