Contact

Card Game Authority serves as a reference resource for players, collectors, researchers, and enthusiasts across the United States. This page explains how to reach the editorial team, what information to include for the fastest possible response, and what kinds of requests fall within the site's scope.

Service area covered

Card Game Authority operates with a national scope across the United States, covering topics from classic card games like Poker and Bridge to trading card game collecting, tournament formats, and strategy fundamentals. The editorial focus spans recreational play, competitive gaming, card grading and valuation, and the cultural history behind the games themselves.

Messages relevant to this scope receive priority. That includes corrections to published content, questions about specific rules or rulings, suggestions for topics not yet covered in the library, and inquiries from researchers, educators, or journalists working on card game-related material. A message asking about a niche bidding convention in Bridge is exactly the kind of thing worth sending. A message asking for investment advice on collectible cards is not — card grading and valuation covers the mechanics of that topic, but the site does not offer individualized financial guidance.

What to include in your message

The difference between a message that gets a thoughtful reply and one that sits unanswered usually comes down to specificity. The editorial team handles a defined range of subject matter, and messages that arrive with enough context to act on get addressed first.

For content corrections or factual disputes, include:

For topic suggestions, include:

For research or media inquiries, include the publication or institution, the nature of the project, and a deadline if one applies. Requests tied to educational or journalistic work are given separate consideration from general correspondence.

General questions about how a game works are welcome, though the card game FAQ and individual game guides cover a wide range of common questions already — checking those first saves time on both ends.

Response expectations

The editorial team reviews messages in batches rather than in real time. Standard correspondence — corrections, suggestions, general questions — typically receives a response within 5 to 7 business days. Media and research inquiries with stated deadlines are reviewed more quickly when the deadline is noted clearly in the message.

Not every message receives a reply. Messages outside the site's scope, duplicate submissions, and requests for personalized recommendations (which card game to buy, which platform to use, how to value a specific card) fall outside what the editorial team can address directly. The site's reference content — including where to buy card games in the US, card game apps and software, and the standard deck explained — is designed to answer those categories of question at scale.

Responses are sent to the email address provided in the submission. Including a clear subject line that names the page or topic in question helps route the message to the right reviewer.

Additional contact options

For readers who prefer to search before messaging, the site's topic library covers more than 45 distinct subjects organized across game types, strategy, competition, and community. The card game terminology reference and the learning card games as a beginner guide address a large share of the questions that arrive through the contact form.

Community-related questions — finding local clubs, organized play events, or regional card game groups — are addressed in card game communities and clubs in the US, which tracks the organizational landscape of card gaming at the club and association level across the country.

For corrections specifically, the most useful submissions are the ones that arrive with a source attached. Card game rules vary by edition, regional tradition, and house convention — a correction that cites Hoyle, a World Series of Poker official ruleset, or a named game publisher's printed rulebook carries considerably more weight than one that doesn't.
