What Your Favorite Card Game Says About You
If you're bold, quick-witted, and love testing the limits – both your own and those of your opponents, Cheat is your go-to card game. You thrive on deception and suspense, knowing exactly when to bluff and when to fold. For the unapologetic jokester, always ready to push boundaries and spark laughter, Cards Against Humanity is the perfect choice. Psychologists would call you a 'high sensation seeker' – you crave novelty, enjoy flirting with social boundaries, and aren't afraid to go off-script. You get a thrill from bending the rules (without actually breaking them!), reading the room, and delivering those zingers that get everyone laughing or gasping. Decks, dice, and drama
For fans of games like Warhammer and Magic: The Gathering, the battlefield is as much on the tabletop as in the mind. As a strategic thinker and an immersive creative, you're drawn to intricate worldbuilding, love mastering complex systems, and have a knack for seeing the big picture (as well as the tiniest details). Whether you're building the perfect deck or painting armies for hours, your commitment reveals patience, imagination, and a drive to outwit opponents on every level.
Warhammer fans revel in narratives and customization, while Magic players love to invent combos that no one's ever tried before. You're the person who never shies away from lore, backstory, or inventing new scenarios, because half the fun is creating universes within universes. If you like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon TCG, you're definitely part of this club too! Masters of Mayhem
If Uno is your favorite card game, odds are you're not afraid of a little chaos. Uno fans value spontaneity and adaptability. They roll with the punches, savoring every turn of fortune, from their own victory to a spectacular comeback by someone else. Quick-thinking and energetic, you love games that keep everyone on their toes and refuse to take setbacks too seriously.
Fans of Exploding Kittens fit right into this lively category. You're drawn to absurd humor, and you thrive on unpredictability and embrace the joy of sudden twists. Both Uno and Exploding Kittens players share a zest for dynamic, fast-paced fun where adaptability and a sharp sense of humor are the ultimate winning strategies. The solitude strategist
If you're drawn to Solitaire or Patience, you likely appreciate introspection, self-reliance, and the simple satisfaction of conquering a challenge on your own terms. You enjoy quiet moments, finding peace and focus in strategic decision-making and methodical play. Ultimately, every card game is a mirror, reflecting the unique vibe and personality you bring to the table, whether you crave the suspense and chaos or the strategic depths of card games.

Gen Con gets bigger as tabletop gaming grows
The longest-running tabletop gaming convention in the nation is making a habit of shattering records. Why it matters: Gen Con, which has been held in Indy since 2003, has become synonymous with summer and is the city's largest annual convention. It was a driving force behind the city's expansion of the Indiana Convention Center and addition of a 38-story Signia by Hilton hotel after convention leaders warned the event was outgrowing Indy and needed more space. Gen Con has agreed to stay through at least 2030. Driving the news: When Gen Con opens its doors Thursday, it will mark the start of the biggest event in the convention's nearly 60-year history. Last year was its first-ever sellout, and officials started the week by announcing they did it again in 2025. It's also adding attractions as it adds attendees. This year will feature a record 595 vendors selling games, merchandise, costumes, art, books and more. By the numbers: Last summer, Gen Con drew more than 71,000 people and delivered an economic impact of $77 million. The big picture: The biggest Gen Con ever arrives amid a global gaming boom that started in the late 2010s as the rise of crowd-funding allowed more developers to get in the game and millennials took to tabletops to disconnect from their devices. The industry got another boost during the pandemic as families stuck inside searched for new ways to spend time together and entered the worlds created by brands like "Dungeons & Dragons" or "Warhammer" to escape. Research suggests that gamers who got into the hobby during lockdown are sticking around. What they're saying:"This incredible growth reflects the enthusiasm and increasing interest in the tabletop gaming community, and we are delighted to welcome thousands of attendees to celebrate our shared love for games," Gen Con President David Hoppe said in a statement. "Together, we are not just creating memories; we are shaping the future of this vibrant culture." Yes, but: Developers and publishers are bracing for a potential crash caused by President Trump's tariffs because many tabletop games are made overseas. Earlier this month, the Game Manufacturers Association reaffirmed its opposition to tariffs on toys and games. "These tariffs create unnecessary financial strain and disrupt supply chains critical to our industry," the association said in a statement. Zoom in: Although the show is a sellout, there is still plenty of fun to be had outside of the convention center.

Dog owner taught her pooches a new trick — to play the card game Uno: ‘They're used to challenges'
Turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks. A TikTokker claimed to have taught her pooches to play Uno — showing off their apparent skills in a new video that's already viewed nearly 40 million times. In the clip, Haley Deecken plays the classic card game with her dogs, 10-year-old Dunkin, a Labrador retriever/pit bull mix and 2-year-old Splash, German shepherd/Australian shepherd/Labrador/husky mix, who appear to follow along with no problem. 3 A handful of short training sessions focusing on colors brought the game-playing canines up to speed. Deecken, known on TikTok as @haleyandthepets, said she used short training sessions — utilizing their limited color vision to teach them how to play. 'I started with just two colors — blue and yellow — because those are the colors they can see best,' the New Yorker told People. 'I'd place most cards as the correct color, like four blue cards around a blue one in the middle, then one yellow to set them up for success. Every time they picked the blue card, they got a reward.' As the training went on, Deecken introduced more challenging colors to expand their skills — while limiting the sessions to about 15 minutes to make sure the dogs are focused and stay excited about the game. Deecken said it took seven or eight sessions before they understood. 'Dogs' attention spans can wear down if you go too long, but short, frequent sessions keep them wanting to learn more,' she explained. 'It's really about having fun and connecting with them,' she added. 'If they're enjoying it and learning something new, that's a win for all of us.' This isn't the first time the pups have portrayed a penchant for cleverness — both have appeared in commercials, TV shows and movies. 3 Haley Deecken claimed to train her dogs to play Uno. Deecken shared that she hopes to eventually teach Dunkin and Splash pattern recognition so they can recognize and match the numbers on the cards, upping their Uno game to the next level. This isn't the first time Dunkin has gone viral, either. 3 Dogs have a harder time seeing red and green. Earlier this year, Deecken attempted to do a TikTok trend dancing to Naughty Boy's 'La La La' when the dog snatched a knife off the counter — and started to run around the kitchen with it. Deecken can be seen running away from the dog with the blade in his mouth and she compared the incident to a 'low-budget live-action 'Scooby-Doo' remake.'
