i 'll have to agree with mitsu on this. no matter how smart or talented you are, if you're just learning C/C++ or even python, it would take you a long time to get a finished project together. Even for a card game, the multiplater aspect adds a whole new level of difficulty to consider.
If you plan on seriously learning it, my advice would be to start with "Hello World" and set your goals higher and higher as you go. I know way too many people who (myself included) have set off to write a game and never got anywhere, because they were learning as they went.
As strong as my opinions may be against VB, if that's what you know best and you feel that you can write a complete game with it, then go for it. As mitsu said, it's whatever tools you know best.
But if this is what you want to be doing in the long run, then VB or even Flash, being good places to start, are really not up to par, and sooner or later you should learn a lower level language.
