		The Joker is a special card found in most modern decks of playing cards.
		Often, the card is a wild card, allowed to represent a range of existing cards.
		The Joker sometimes bears the original symbol for the U.S. Dollar, an S superimposed over a U. The Joker is often compared to ' The Fool ' in the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck.

	My joker collection - intro
		As it is, I owe quite a few jokers to one collector that I hope is being patient with me. The jokers listed as duplicates have mostly been traded away and the colleciton is probably about twice as large as what you see here.
		That is, if I have two cards that are identical except for a corner mark, or if one joker in a deck is color and the other is fl and white, I'm willing to trade those in order to get cards that are quite different.
		Someone had seen the three jokers and, not realizing that one stood for each of us, decided that the idea was just to decorate the door with more of them.

		Transformation cards made their first appearance soon after 1800 and have been sporadically popular ever since; their aim is to `transform' and ordinary pip card into a picture by means of incorporating the pips in their standard positions in a larger overall design.
		When card players see writing about Tarot using the terms "major arcana" and "pentacles" in place of trumps and coins they tend to assume that the writer comes from the occult tradition, and is probably more interested in divination than in playing card games.
		Italian cards were originally made with the back folded over and stuck down to form a border on the face of the card to protect its edges (cards were always made by pasting several layers of paper together, and tended to fall apart with use).

	Rules of Card Games: Euchre
		Any card may be led, and each player in clockwise order must follow suit by playing a card of the same suit as the card led if possible.
		When playing with a double pack, if two equally high cards are played to a trick, the second to be played beats the first.
		There is a version in which, if a joker is turned up, the dealer cannot turn it over at the end of the first round of bidding, but must take it into his or her hand and become the maker, assuming the other 5 players have passed on the called trump.
