Know that your own computer may have built-in card games to play alone or online with an opponent. Check out card games like solitaire if you have a Windows operating system. Find different versions of solitaire, like FreeCell, on some computers.

Step 2
Realize that many websites offer card games but be wary and avoid giving out your credit card number or other personal information without making sure you're in a safe and legit website environment.

Step 3
Find websites like The House of Cards or Buzzle.com to play card games online, and pick a few you think you'd enjoy (see Resources below). See that some sites promote gambling while other sites provide only a game playing environment where no gambling takes place.

Step 4
Watch out for websites that allow you to continue to play card games online with annoying or rude players that you can't block or ignore. Look for web sites that have options for avoiding obnoxious people. Avoid arguing with opponents since you never know who's on the other side of the net. Remember, it's just better to leave or log out--it's just a game.

Understand that most people who play card games online are polite. Play card games online and get to know other players who enjoy the challenge of cards.
