Morphology
The meaning 'a game played with a set of playing cards' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'card' (a playing card) with 'game' (a recreational contest). This regular noun–noun compound follows common compositional patterns in English (and many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Card game comes from the simple idea of card and game: imagine people sitting around a table holding a small deck and playing with the cards. So it means 'a game played with a set of playing cards'.
