Playing card. Playing cards is the name for the 54 cards used card games like poker, bridge, blackjack, and solitaire. There are 52 basic cards in a deck. These cards have a suit and a number (called the value or rank). There are 4 suits and 13 ranks in each suit. There are also two Jokers that do not have a suit or a rank.
Official rules. 1  If a player draws a card that is playable, the player has the option of either keeping it or playing it immediately. Having drawn from the deck, the player will not use any other card from their hand on that turn. 2  A player may play a Wild card at any time, even if that player has other playable cards.
