Definition
玩牌 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to play cards'. The verb 玩 and the object 牌 can be separated when you add a measure word, duration, or other elements between them — for example, 玩了一局牌 ('played a round of cards') or 玩过几次牌 ('played cards a few times'). You cannot put a person directly after 玩牌; instead, say 跟朋友玩牌 ('play cards with friends').
