Editorial notes

What the D list includes—and what it doesn’t.

Are board games with cards included?

Only when cards carry the central play. A board game that merely uses event cards is not automatically treated as a card game.

Is the list complete?

It is deliberately curated, not a claim to every historical or regional title. We add games when the basic facts and a useful source can be checked.
