When writers directly quote text from another source, they use quotation marks to indicate the exact words used by the source. They may also use a signal phrase to introduce the quote and give context to the reader. The citation of the source is then provided in a particular format at the end of the quote. Additionally, writers must be careful to quote accurately and not change or add to the original text in any way to avoid plagiarism.

Use the text to answer the question.
Most games that are played with a standard deck of playing cards are called trick games. In such a game, each player will take a turn playing a card, and whoever plays the winning card takes them all. These cards make up a trick, which the winner puts face-side down in a stack before playing the first card for the next round.
