Are there rules written for using gaming sets?

Just started DMing, and in a moment of hubris had a npcNPC challenge the party to a game of cards. Whichcards… which one of the playersPCs was proficient in. whenWhen asked the reasonable question of "ok what now," I realized I had no idea and a quick skim of the DM guide and PHB (and a longer look later) revealed nothing. somethingSomething that could have been fun and a nice character moment turned into a "sorry guys, let me just throw something together and move along"along."

QUESTION(S): Are there rules in 5e for what rolls/checks/contests areare necessary or expected when using a gaming set? When and how would proficiency come into it? whatWhat other skills and proficiency'sproficiencies could come into play ex(ex: a sleight of hand check to cheat at cards.)?
