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.
A meld is three or more cards of the same rank such as 4-4-4, 6-6-6-6-6, or Q-Q-Q-Q-Q. Wild cards (2s and jokers) can substitute for any card, if needed (the only exception is a meld of black 3s, which canât include any wild cards). For instance, you could have a meld of 8-8-2.
