when playing cards first arrived in europe during the 1370s, they had the same format as the modern standard 52-card deck, consisting of four suits each with ten pip cards and three face cards. during the late 14th and 15th centuries, the spanish and portuguese decks dropped the 10s while the german and swiss packs removed the aces to create 48-card decks. it is far easier to print 48 cards using two woodblocks than 52 cards. while the removal of the above cards was motivated by manufacturing considerations, later expulsions are the result of trying to speed up card games to make them more exciting. trappola is the first known card game to be played with a deck that was stripped for game play. it removed all the cards from 6 to 3 to create a 36-card deck.

there have repeatedly been novelty designs of the traditional deck, but all of these were short-lived, and intended as humorous or designed for a special purpose. there have been "feminist" designs which show all the face cards as women ("frauezogg", designs by elsi jegen and susan csomor), and there have been numerous novelty decks made for marketing purposes where certain cards had an altered design showing a logo or mascot of the company in question; an early "special edition" of the swiss deck was a "military" version printed in 1915 on the occasion of the world war i mobilization; the suits became "cavalry, artillery, infantry, engineers". swiss cartoonist fredy sigg designed a "cartoon" variant of the deck in 1978. in the 2000s, austrian and german card producers also came up with "face-lifted", modernized designs for the swiss deck, but these were not widely sold in switzerland. ag müller since its acquisition by cartamundi in 2000 also came up with various "modernized" variants, sold under the name "jass plus". "playing cards r us, inc" of orlando, florida produced a "non-smoking" deck with 52 cards and two jokers (copied from the csomor's feminist deck) in a very limited run of 50 decks in 2006. since 2007, ag müller has been selling swiss suited poker sets with 52 cards plus three jokers. these cards are wider than jass ones and the pip cards are different; roses and acorns are no longer connected by vines and the shields are uniformly the same. they also use english corner indices for the face cards which meant giving the queen index "q" for the male obers.
