	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.
		In most games, the cards are assembled into a deck (or pack), and their order is randomized by a procedure called shuffling to provide an element of chance in the game.
		Although the joker card often bears the image of a fool (possibly derived from the stereotypical village idiot), which is one of the images of the Tarot deck, it is not believed that there is any relation.

	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.

	Skat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skat was developed around 1810 in Altenburg in what is now the Federal State of Thuringia, Germany and was based on the three-player game of Tarock (also known as (Tarot)and the four-player game of Sheepshead.
		Cards in the "Skat" count as well, so the player who plays "without" 2 or more has to take into account that there might be a surprise for him in there which will reduce his count.
		In league games, a fixed number of points is added for each game that is won by the soloist, to lower the chance factor and to stress the skill factor of the game.

	Playing Cards - rules to skat
		It must be emphasized that the player scores nothing, and loses the value of the game, if he fails to take in tricks the minimum number of points guaranteed by that game whether it is 61 points, 91 points, all the tricks, or none of the tricks, whatever the case may be.
		The multipliers for game, schneider, and schwarz are duly applied to determine the value of the game; if the Player did not reach 61 points, the multipliers accrue to his opponents.
		The value of the game may fall short of the bid if there is an unlucky skat when the Player is "against," (see Matadors), but the loss must be at least equal to the bid.

	Rules of Card Games: Skat
		In parts of the USA other versions of Skat survive: Texas Skat is fairly close to the German game but in Wisconsin they play a significantly different game: Tournée Skat, which was brought by immigrants from Germany in the 19th century and reflects the form of Skat which was played in Germany at that time.
		Note that for the purposes of matadors, cards in the skat count as part of declarer's hand, even though in a Hand game declarer does not know what is in the skat when choosing the game.
		Skat is popular in Sønderjutland, the southern part of Jutland that was under German rule from 1864 to 1920.

	Parlett on Skat : Variants
		Ramsch, meaning "junk", is in fact a card game in its own right, being of the trick-avoidance variety like Hearts or Misère.
		A player choosing to play with the hand as dealt, and passing on the two additional cards without looking at them, thereby automatically causes the penalty score for that round to be doubled (so if all three play as dealt it is octupled!).
		Any points contained in the skat are (by prior agreement) either ignored, or added to those either of the loser or of whoever won the last trick.
