Free card games on Switch

Card games have exploded in popularity over the last few years so it's not surprising to see that there are several of them available for free on Switch. Many of these offer in-app purchases but you usually don't have to buy anything to enjoy the game. 

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Though not as popular as Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist, Master Duel also is a fun card game for Yu-Gi-Oh! fans. It pulls the physical card game into a digital version that's fun to play on the go. Get your deck ready and duel players from anywhere around the world. Or if that's not to your liking, you can play solo mode and follow along with a story.
