5 Player Card Games to Play Online
Few card games work well with five, so this page lists the 10 that do, from Cheat and Durak to Texas Hold'em and Blackjack.
Most are shedding or bluffing games, which scale gracefully as more people join, and any empty seat is filled by a bot.
Where to start
- A party bluffing game: Cheat.
- A bigger group of easy games: Crazy Eights, Rainbow Rush or Go Fish.
- A betting game: Texas Hold'em.
