Poker Cards

The French poker deck is one of the most widely used and recognised decks of cards in the world, especially in card games such as poker, bridge and blackjack. It consists of 52 cards divided into four suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades. Each suit contains 13 cards, ranging from the Ace (which can be the highest or lowest value card), followed by the numbers 2 to 10, and concluding with the figures Jack, Queen and King.

Additionally, some variants of French deck games include jokers, which are cards that can take the value of any other card to complete a hand in specific games.

Visually, the cards are distinguished by their vibrant colours: hearts and diamonds are red, while clubs and spades are black. The figures of the French deck are stylised and often feature ornate and distinctive designs that vary slightly depending on the manufacturer of the deck. These cards are fundamental not only in casino games, but also in a wide range of familiar and competitive card games around the world.
