Playing card games parts of a set or deck used in playing various games of chance or skill. In card games there were usually four suits; in Germany these were called hearts, bells, leaves, and acorns, while in Italy they were known as swords, batons, cups, and money. In addition to these cards, called numeral cards, there were also cards known as tarots, or triumphs (trumps), because when the tarots played in combination with numeral cards had a higher value. A full pack consisted of 78 cards, the 22 tarots and 56 others that were divided into four suits of 14 cards each. Out of this pack developed the modern standard deck, consisting of 52 cards, divided into four suits (spades and clubs, black; hearts and diamonds, red). In each suit there are king, queen, knave (or jack), and 10 cards bearing pips from 1 (the ace, the highest card in most games) to 10. In gambling card games such as poker, an extra card called the joker is often used.
