What is the ruling on dealing with the card game played by children, and is this game considered gambling or a precursor to deviation?

The best way to deal with children is to divert them from becoming attached to these games and entertain them instead with reading stories of the Prophets and the righteous predecessors, in addition to permissible and beneficial sports such as racing, archery, and swimming, and to update them and discuss with them the future of their lives.
