How do you play suits?

This is a game for two players using a 52-card deck. You take the aces out and lay them across the table first. Then you shuffle the deck and give each opponent half the deck (24 cards). Then each opponent counts 12 cards out of his/her deck and sets the other 12 cards to the side.

Are there more than 4 suits of cards?

There is no standard order for the four suits and so there are differing conventions among games that need a suit hierarchy. Examples of suit order are (from highest to lowest): Bridge (for bidding and scoring) and occasionally poker: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs. Preferans: hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades. And another question, how many suits should be in a deck? 4 suits - There are 4 suits (Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds, and Spades) and there are 13 cards in each suit (Clubs/Spades are black, Hearts/Diamonds are red) - Without replacement means the card IS NOT put back into the deck.

What do all 52 cards add up to?

An interesting theory on why there are 52 cards in a deck is that the number of cards corresponds to the number of weeks within a year. And, if you add up all the symbols in a deck of cards, there are 365... Fascinating. Accordingly, what does a deck of 52 contain? A standard deck of cards has four suites: hearts, clubs, spades, diamonds. Each suite has thirteen cards: ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen and king. Thus the entire deck has 52 cards total.

Regarding this, why are there jokers in cards?

Jokers were added to the deck around the 1860s-long after card decks became common-to capitalize on the popularity of a game called euchre, from the Alsatian game juckerspiel. But juckerspiel players created a card that could trump even the jacks. This card, called the "best bower," is the joker. You can also ask why are spades the highest suit? Ace of spades is the highest card in the deck. That was because card manufacturers had to pay taxes ? so called stamp duty was applied. Various methods were used to show that the tax was paid, including a physical stamp on the highest card of the deck, which is, of course, the ace of spades. That is how it all began.
