  A cardselection is similar to a one-dimenional card-container, except for:
  - A selection is no "physical" object, but an object in mind. Therefor,
    it contains CardWords_CardDescriptions instead of CardWords_Cards.
  - It has no fixed length.

  The purpose of card selections: base class for Trade-ins and
  moves to the table
