I'm Tor Andreassen, a card-game enthusiast and the author of the personal Norwegian-language blog Norske Casinosider. I collect old Norwegian playing-card decks and enjoy the rules, history and small details that make different card games distinctive.

My writing covers card games and how to read casino information critically. I try to explain terminology in plain language, check published sources and separate personal impressions from facts. I don't present myself as a professional poker player, coach or casino operator, and I don't claim tournament results or winnings.

Some links on my blog are affiliate links that may earn a commission. I disclose that relationship so readers can assess the context of my writing. Here I'm interested in learning from discussions of card-game rules, probability and responsible play. I treat gambling as entertainment with a cost and risk, never as an income plan.
