Board Game[]

Despite it's one year cancellation in 2002, Endless Games released a home game adaptation in order to celebrate it's 25th anniversary in 2002, even though the logo from 2001 is used on the box, the gameplay was based on the 70s and 80s formats with the Perry-era front-end game (awarding $500 to the winner) and the Eubanks/Rafferty-era "Money Cards" format.

Mobile Game[]

A version for mobile phones was released by Telescope Inc. on June 1, 2005, the logo was still based on the 2001-02 version while the theme music was a mini-remix of the original 1978-81 version, the gameplay was based on the 70s/80s version. More poll questions were also available for download.

Online Game[]

An online version of Card Sharks was once available at Uproar.com. While it's logo was still based on the ill-fated 2001-02 revival. The gameplay was based on the 70s and 80s version minus the poll questions. As of September 30, 2006; the website has officially been shut down as it offers no game show based games of any kind.

NOTE: This was the only syndicated game show revival by Pearson Television (later FremantleMedia, now Fremantle) that has never promoted their official online game during the split screen end credits by Pat Bullard.
