Editorial notes
What the V 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.
