Abstract

We discuss four famous card games that can help learn linear algebra. The games are: SET, Socks, Spot it!, and EvenQuads. We describe the game in the language of vector, affine, and projective spaces. We also show how these games are connected to each other. A separate section is devoted to playing Socks with the EvenQuads deck and vice versa.
