Can you even commit to this much?

Many card games have a reduced deck - e.g. lots of French card games use a 36-card deck. Some card games use multiple decks mixed together (e.g. Canasta). Some have extra cards (jokers are common, there are others); some have entire extra suits (e.g. games that used to be played with various forms of tarot decks).

All this stuff needs to be parameterised, and suddenly you have an enterprise-worthy class hierarchy and a ton of complexity before you've even really started on game-specific stuff.
