Card playing has been popular for over six-hundred years. The origin of playing cards grew from Chinese money cards that have four suits, coins, strings of coins, myriads of strings, and tens of myriads. The four suits with which we are familair with today, spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds, originated in France. Other countries have their own suits.
Card games are fun and simple that even children can play and enjoy them. There are games for two, three, and four or more players. And then there are Games of Patience- Solitaire - where it is the player against the deck. In some games there are trump suits, where any card of the trump suit beats out any card of the other suits. Many games are played for taking tricks, collecting points in a round.
