How many cards are in a standard set of playing cards?

Answer 1

52 not counting the 2 jokers.

There are 52 cards in a deck. Coincidentally, there are 52 weeks in a year...

There are 4 suits - 4 seasons...

All the digits on the cards in the whole deck add up to 365... spooky. :D

Answer 2

Literally hundreds of different games can be played with a standard 52-card deck.

Trick-taking games are played in multiple rounds and include Bridge, Spades, Hearts, and many others.

Matching games such as Gin and Rummy require players to create sets of cards by some set of rules.

Shedding games often use matching rules as players race to get rid of their cards, for example in Kings in the Corner or Spit.

Accumulating games are just the opposite, as players attempt to collect as many cards as possible, as in the many variants of War.

Fishing games have an array of cards on the table which players must match; although specialized decks are often used, the variant Cassino can be played with a standard 52-card deck. Note that "Go Fish" is an example of a matching game rather than a fishing game.

Comparing games are those in which players compete to have the best hand by some set of rules; Poker and Blackjack are the most obvious examples.

Solitaire games can be played alone, generally moving cards from a "tableau" to a "foundation."
