	Playing card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Playing cards are often used as props in magic tricks, as well as occult practices such as cartomancy, and a number of card games involve (or can be used to support) gambling.
		An early mention of a distinct series of playing cards is the entry of Charles or Charbot Poupart, treasurer of the household of Charles VI of France, in his book of accounts for 1392 or 1393, which records payment for the painting of three sets or packs of cards, which were evidently already well known.
		Until August 4, 1960, decks of playing cards printed and sold in the United Kingdom were liable for taxable duty and the Ace of Spades carried an indication of the name of the printer and the fact that taxation had been paid on the cards.

		The belief that the early card makers or cardpainters of Ulm, Nuremberg and Augsburg, from about 1418 to 1450, were also wood engravers, is founded on the assumption that the cards of that period were printed from wood blocks.
		The queens are Pallas (warrior goddess; equivalent to the Greek Athena or Roman minerva), Rachel (biblical mother of Joseph), Argine (the origin of which is obscure), and Judith (of the Apocrypha).
		Though specific design elements of the court cards are rarely used in game play, a few are notable: the jack of spades and jack of hearts are drawn in profile, while the rest of the courts are shown in full face, leading to the former being called the "one-eyed" jacks.

	Andy's Playing Cards - The Tarot And Other Early Cards - page I
		For many traditional pastimes (not only playing cards), an important element which enhances the players' interest is an imaginary theme or setting for the game: for instance, Chess represents an ideal battle between two armies, while Backgammon and other similar games mimic a race, and so on.
		A similarity between these cards and the tarot trumps is undeniable, as discussed in the relevant gallery, and although the arrangement and number of cards mismatch, the progress is basically the same, and analogies can be found between specific illustrations belonging to the two decks.
		Nevertheless, 15th century playing cards might have not been merely looked at as a trivial pastime (as they are today), but as an activity whose dual purpose was to entertain and to provide a source of moral precepts, what today would be called an "educational game".

		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).
