Sharing a border with Germany, many card games as played in that country have also taken root in Denmark, even if not originating there. In addition to the main land space, Denmark also includes over 400 additional islands, including the large land mass of Greenland and the much smaller Faroe Islands.  For the games specifically played in Greenland, please see the Card Games in Greenland page and for those from the Faroe Islands, please see the Faroe Islands games page.
