Dou dizhu player (landlord/peasant), rocket and/or bomb, no deals played (a.k.a. "spring"). Since there are so many elements affecting score of the game in a round, it is hard to predict how big one will win or lose. The four-player version of "dou dizhu" is played mainly in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, including Shanghai. It uses a double deck, including two red and two black jokers – 108 cards altogether. Each player takes 25 cards and 8 cards are left over for the landlord, who plays alone from a hand of 33 cards against the other three players in partnership. The combinations
Joker (playing card) cards provide symbols for three jokers: red, black, and white. Many decks do not provide the Joker with a corner index symbol, of those that do, the most common is a solid five-pointed star or a star within a circle. It is also very common for decks to simply use a stylized "J" or the word "JOKER" in the corner. Like sports trading cards, jokers are often prized by collectors. Many unusual jokers are available for purchase online while other collectible jokers are catalogued online for viewing. Some European games have as many as six jokers per pack. Zwicker uses
