Card game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although many games have special decks of cards, the 52 card pack is known as the standard deck, and is used in a wide variety of games. |
 | | It consists of 52 cards, each card having a suit (one of spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs) and a rank (a number between 2 and 10, or one of jack, queen, king and ace). |
 | | In addition to games that use the standard deck, there are also games that use some modification of the standard deck, for example excluding all cards of rank lower than some rank (e.g., a pinochle deck), or adding a special card, joker, to the standard deck. |
