Learning Card Games

Can anyone recommend a good resource to learn traditional card games? I have a little book but I’m embarrassed to admit that find it hard to understand. I’m much more of a visual learner for things like that.
We have two that we play on holiday - gin rummy and a variation of knockout whist (I think). I’m thinking video or online resources.

YouTube. Just refreshed myself on shithead and taught the kids - they love it.

This person has videos on cribbage, solitaire, gin rummy and many, many more - including some I don’t know.

Thank you. YouTube can teach you how to do anything!

YouTube definitely.

I love a good card game, no one to play with now though,

we used to play this game in 6th form college back in mid 90s called slaps. Think we made it up tbh but it had element of snap, beat your neighbour out of doors and something else and involved slapping your opponents hands very hard to get their cards. 😂. It was lethal. But so much fun.
