“One of the world’s most popular entertainments is a deck of cards, which contains thirteen each of four suits, highlighted by kings, queens and jacks, who are possibly the queen’s younger, more attractive boyfriends.” – Lemony Snicket
History of National Card Playing Day
The exact origin and the founder of National Card Playing Day are still known. In the 9th century, the Chinese people began to develop games by using money and paper objects. These early playing cards bear no resemblance to the sturdier European playing cards that developed a few centuries later. Then it spread all over the world in different varieties and different styles. From the Mamluk designs of Egypt to the arrival of the first playing cards during the Early Renaissance in Europe, the decks were divided into four suits, namely cups, swords, coins, and sticks or batons.
From these suits, today’s modern deck of playing cards has been developed. Now the suits are converted into diamonds, hearts, spades, clubs, and clubs. These four suits represent the different classes of eras, namely clergy, aristocracy, military, and peasantry. At the time of the Moghul Period, the ten-suited card game of Ganjifa became so popular in India. From the thousands of card games, Spades, Hearts, Poker, Solitaire, Spite and Malice, Spoons, Gin Rummy, Ridge, Texas Hold’em, and Black Jack are some of the top card games.
