Card SharkvsOvercooked 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
Card Shark
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A dexterity-focused card-cheating game where executing sleight-of-hand maneuvers under time pressure is the primary test.
Overcooked 2
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A frantic co-op cooking game where execution speed, partner reads, and optimal kitchen routing determine your score.
Card Shark leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Overcooked 2 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

NPC marks follow scripted reactions; not truly adaptive
Overcooked 2
Anticipating co-op partner actions requires real-time social reads
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Card Shark
Card distribution contains some hidden info but is secondary
Overcooked 2
Level hazards and order queues introduce random variation
Optimization5 vs 6
Overcooked 2 leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Card Shark
Learning optimal cheat sequences and tells is a solvable puzzle
Overcooked 2
Optimal kitchen routing and task assignment is learnable per level
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
