A Year-Long Challenge

The 2026 Card Challenge

One card. One year. Every hand. The challenge is simple: play your way through every hand on the 2026 NMJL card before the year is out. You do not have to be fast and you do not have to be perfect. You just have to keep showing up to the table, one section at a time.

How the challenge works

No pressure, no deadlines inside the year. Work the card the way that fits your life.
