    They are competitions, but not sports.

    Maybe a 'mind sport' but not sport in the truest sense of the word.

    I misread that at first and thought it was Chest Boxing. Can't stop thinking about it now.

    To my mind, a sport needs to have a certain amount of physicality involved.....card games don't have that.

    Isn't shooting an air rifle an Olympic sport?

    I think so, which would involve loading a rifle, balance and breathing techniques. Still way more physical than a fistful of cards. The only card game that has any sort of physicality would be 'SNAP!' lol
