playing cards

Playing cards are the most important thing in gambling and playing poker. Playing cards were invented in 1370 in Europe. Some say they first appeared in Italy and the others say it was in Spain. First playing cards were fully hand-painted and it was a very artistic product for those days. We have 4 groups of cards and each of them has 13 cards, so totally we have 52 cards without joker.

four types of playing cards

We have 4 groups of cards:

• diamonds
• hearts
• clubs
• spades

Diamonds and hearts are red, clubs and spades are black.

As we said at the beginning of the blog, we have 13 cards for each of these groups. A big part of these 13 cards are numbers that start with 2 and end up with 10 rest of them are one J card that stands for jack, one Q card that stands for queen, one K card that stands for king and one A card that stands for ace.
