Cards from a standard deck

The standard 52-bill of fare deck of French-suited playing cards is the nearly common pack of playing cards used today.^[a] In English-speaking countries information technology is the only traditional pack^[b] used for playing cards; in many countries of the world, however, it is used aslope other traditional, often older, standard packs with different arrange symbols and pack sizes. The most mutual pattern worldwide and the only design ordinarily available in Britain and America is the English pattern pack. The 2d near common is the Belgian-Genoese design, designed in France, but whose use spread to Spain, Italia, the Ottoman Empire, the Balkans and much of North Africa and the Eye East.^[1] In improver to those, there are other major international and regional patterns.

Composition [edit]

A standard 52-carte deck comprises 13 ranks in each of the iv French suits: clubs ( ♣ ), diamonds ( ♦ ), hearts ( ♥ ) and spades ( ♠ ). Each arrange includes three courtroom cards (face up cards), King, Queen and Jack, with reversible (double-headed) images. Each suit also includes ten numeral cards or pip cards, from one to ten. The card with one pip is known as an Ace. Each pip menu dispays the number of pips (symbols of the suit) corresponding to its number, as well as the appropriate numeral (simply "A" for the Ace) in at to the lowest degree 2 corners.

Design [edit]

Dondorf Rhineland pattern

The nigh popular standard pattern of the French deck is the English design ^[c] (pictured in a higher place), sometimes referred to as the International pattern or Anglo-American pattern.^[iv] The second near common is the Belgian-Genoese design, which was designed in French republic for export and spread to Spain, Italy, the Ottoman Empire, the Balkans and much of North Africa and the Middle Eastward.^[1] There are too numerous others such as the Berlin pattern, Nordic blueprint, Dondorf Rhineland pattern (pictured correct) and the variants of the European pattern.

Modern playing cards carry index labels on reverse corners or in all 4 corners to facilitate identifying the cards when they overlap then that they appear identical for players on contrary sides. For the Ace and courtroom cards, this characterization is the initial letter or letters of the proper noun of that card. In English-speaking countries they are lettered A, K, Q and J for Ace, Male monarch, Queen and Jack. In other countries the letters may vary, although the English versions are also sometimes used. Germany uses A, K, D and B (Ass,^[d] König, Dame and Bube); Russia uses (the Cyrillic equivalents of?) T, K, D and B (Tuz, Korol, Dama and Valet); Sweden uses Due east, K, D and Kn (Ess, Kung, Dam and Knekt) and France uses 1, R, D, 5 (1, Roi, Dame, and Valet).

Although French-suited, 52-menu packs are the most common playing cards used internationally, there are many countries or regions where the traditional pack size is just 36 (Russia, Bavaria) or 32 (north and central Federal republic of germany, Austria) or where regional cards with smaller packs are preferred for many games. For example, 40- or 48-card Italian-suited packs are common in Italia; 40- and 48-card Spanish-suited packs on the Iberian peninsula; and 36-card German-suited packs are very common in Bavaria and Republic of austria. In improver, tarot cards are required for games such as French tarot (78 cards), which is widely played in French republic, and the Tarock family of games (42 or 54 cards) played in countries like Austria and Hungary.

History [edit]

The English design pack originated in Great britain which was importing French playing cards from Rouen and Antwerp past 1480. The primeval cards of the English language pattern engagement to effectually 1516. Merely Britain only started manufacturing its own cards towards the finish of the 16th century, when menu production began in London. These were based on the Rouen pattern, but unlike the traditional French cards, they dropped the names on the courtroom cards. The English language blueprint evolved, in the process losing "some of its Rouen season and elegance and became more than and more than stylised. The figures took more infinite in the cards and many details were distorted."^[4]

All early on cards of this type were unmarried-headed, but around 1860, the double-headed cards, universally used on modernistic decks, appeared. Corner indices were added around 1880. During the 19th century, the English pattern spread all over the world and is at present used almost everywhere, even in countries where traditional patterns and other suits are popular. In America, the English design was copied onto wider cards.^[4]

The fanciful pattern and manufacturer's logo commonly displayed on the ace of spades began under the reign of James I of England, who passed a police requiring an insignia on that card as proof of payment of a tax on local industry of cards. Until August iv, 1960, decks of playing cards printed and sold in the Britain were liable for taxable duty and the ace of spades carried an indication of the proper noun of the printer and the fact that taxation had been paid on the cards.^[east] The packs were also sealed with a government duty wrapper.

Historically the size of playing cards was down to the printer, simply during the 19th century sizes became standardised, initially to a size of 3½ 10 ii½ inches. Today these are often referred to equally "wide" cards or "poker-sized" cards. Wider playing cards had advantages: information technology was harder to cheat and, if packs were unavailable, dog-eared cards could exist trimmed smaller. Narrower cards, known equally "whist-sized" or "bridge-sized" cards, probably offset appeared in Europe and enabled players to handle the larger numbers of cards required for games like bridge.^{[5] [6]}

All the same, there is no formal requirement for precise adherence and minor variations are produced past diverse manufacturers in different countries.^[7] In Germany, for case, standard Poker and Rummy packs by Ass Altenburger and Ravensburger measure out 92 × 59 mm.^[8] Austria's Piatnik sells packs marketed for Span, Poker and Whist measuring 89 × 58 mm;^[9] while United kingdom's Waddingtons produce generic packs sized at 88 × 58 mm.

Other sizes are also available, such as a medium size (usually 67 × 42 mm or 2.vi × 1.7 in) and a miniature size (typically 45 × 32 mm or 1.eight × 1.3 in).^[x] These are frequently intended for playing patience or solitaire games.^[10] Larger 'jumbo' cards are produced for card tricks and those with poor eyesight.

The thickness and weight of modernistic playing cards are subject field to numerous variables related to their purpose of use and associated material design for immovability, stiffness, texture and appearance.^[11]

Markings [edit]

Some decks include additional design elements. Casino blackjack decks may include markings intended for a car to bank check the ranks of cards, or shifts in rank location to allow a manual check via an inlaid mirror. Many casino decks and solitaire decks have 4 indices instead of simply two. Some modernistic decks have bar code markings on the edge of the face to enable them to be sorted by machine (for playing duplicate bridge, especially simultaneous events where the same easily may be played at many different venues). Some decks have large indices for clarity. These are sometimes sold as 'seniors' cards for older people with limited eyesight, only may also be used in games like stud poker, where being able to read cards from a distance is a benefit and paw sizes are small.

Iv-colour packs [edit]

The standard French-suited pack uses black for the spades and clubs, and red for the hearts and diamonds. Withal, some packs apply four colours for the suits in lodge to make information technology easier to tell them apart. There are several schemes: a common i is the English Poker format with black spades (♠), red hearts (♥), blue diamonds (♦) and green clubs (♣). Another common system is based on the German suits and uses light-green spades (♠) and yellow diamonds (♦) with cerise hearts (♥) and black clubs (♣).

Classification [edit]

When giving the total written name of a specific card, the rank is given first followed past the suit, due east.1000., "ace of spades" or "Ace of Spades".^[h] Shorthand notation may reflect this by listing the rank first, "A♠"; this is mutual usage when discussing poker; but information technology is equally common in more than full general sources to detect the suit listed commencement, as in "♠K" for a single card or "♠AKQ" for multiple cards. This is common practice when writing well-nigh bridge every bit it helps differentiate betwixt the menu(s) and the contract (east.one thousand. "4♥", a contract of 4 hearts). Tens may be either abbreviated to T or written every bit x.

• Face cards or courtroom cards – jacks, queens and kings.
