Any reason why Poker isn't included in this list? Granted its origins are a bit murky, but few people wouldn't consider modern poker to be "anglo-american" in its current flavor. --Patrick Corcoran

The reference is not to the origin of the game but the origin of the playing cards. However, as the article Anglo-American playing card says that the standard 54-card deck is the same as the poker deck, I think it's safe to add it. --Max power 20:06, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Is there a better way to talk about this than "Anglo-American playing card" games? Note the merge notice recently put on Anglo-American playing card. VV 17:39, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Would a better term be Anglo-Norman or Anglo-French instead of Anglo-American? Why the terminology 'American' at all? --Dddstone 18:35, 26 Dec 2005 (UTC)

I think Anglo-Norman playing cards is probably the best term. It avoids the implications of "european", and you can't really mix anglo- with -french. Incidentally, if you're going to rename, the category should indeed also include playing-card as a compound adjective. --202.78.149.227 (talk) 13:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category name

Hi. Shouldn't this category be named "Anglo-American playing-card games"? I'm pretty sure that "playing card" is acting as a compound ajective, and would thus be hyphenated. Thanks, William Pietri 15:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
