You can use something called a "Debounce" to determin which player has a turn or not, a good way to do this is put all the players who are playing, or all players on the server into a table. In this case i'm going to put them all into one table.

Code:

local Players = {}
function InitializeTable() -- Let's put all the players currently online into one big useable table
      for _,v in ipairs(GetAllPlayers()) do
          if IsValidPlayer(v) then
              Players[GetPlayerName(v)] = false
          end
      end
end

InitializeTable()

function PlayerDisconnected(ply) -- if a player leaves, let's not waste memory let's remove the player
      if Players[ply] or not Players[ply] then -- Making sure that "ply" exists in the table, whether or not its true or false
          Players[ply] = nil
      end
end
AddEvent("OnPlayerQuit", PlayerDisconnected)

-- Function to use as a condition if the player can draw a card or not
 -- Usage: if CheckValidPlayer(PlayersFullName)
function CheckValidPlayer(ply)
      if Players[ply] then
          return true
      end
      return false
end
 -- To set a player to be able to draw a card or not Usage: Players["sl0th"] = true / false

This code may have issues, I coded it blind but this is the kind of thing that you could use. There may be a better way but I made this up on the spot

I'm so new at Lua that i went through your code 10 times now and only understand 10% but I'm getting closer and I much appreciate your answer.

I see I need to make a function that checks if that card has been drawn (if the array has been printed once) before I actually show the card.

function cmd_card (player)
math.randomseed( os.time() )
AddPlayerChat(player, "drawed " .. (card[math.random(#card)]))

the math.random should be changed with a value that i get from another function that does the math.random and checks the card when drawn or discards if allready drawn?`
