drawing cards

What brings crowds

Drawing cards is the act of taking cards from a deck, either in card games or fortune-telling contexts.

In games like poker, players draw cards to improve their hands; in tarot, practitioners draw cards to interpret meanings.

The phrase also appears in gaming terminology more broadly, where drawing cards from a deck is a core mechanic: I spent my turn drawing cards instead of attacking.
