Where official rules exist, therefore, they are to be taken as the official rules of a particular governing body rather than those of the game itself. It then becomes necessary to ensure that competitors from different “dialect” areas follow a set of rules codified in advance rather than having to negotiate each game as it is played. Games acquire official rules only when they become popular enough to be played in clubs and tournaments that attract players from widely different regions. Like dialects, they vary from region to region, sometimes from village to village, and they may change with time and be in a constant state of development, though it is true that some card games are inherently resistant to change-a notable example being cribbage, which has hardly changed in 400 years. In fact, the vast majority of card games are folk games. This is like saying that there is only one correct form of a language and that all dialects are invalid. It is widely assumed that every card game has official rules specifying the only right way to play.
