| | Suit (cards) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The "Major Arcana" of the Tarot cards are used as a permanent suit of trumps in the game of tarocchi or tarock. | | | In most such games, trump cards cannot be played if the player can follow suit to the card led to the trick; in a few, trumps can be played at any time. | | | An example would be the game Taj Mahal, in which each card has one of four background colors, the rule being that all the cards played by a single player in a single round must be the same color. |

| | The minion plays the top card of the discard pile as if it was just played from the player's hand, if the player has played the Doppelganger from his hand; or as if from the minion's Doppelganger territory. | | | Traditional tarot decks which are used for playing games refer to the four suits as suits, and the remaining non-suit cards as trumps (or in some games, trumps and a fool). | | | A list of trump card actions is included for players to refer to during the game. |

| | Earthquake is a strategy card game for 2 to 4 players in which players attempt to position themselves for the final leap to the finish. | | | Cards played by other players remain on the table until the beginning of their respective turns. | | | When using this strategy you might play only 1 card from a suit as a play, even though you have more cards of that suit in your hand. |

| | Trumps |
| | The cards in each player's hand at the end of the game are discarded and do not affect the game. | | | Court cards being used to cancel must be of the same suit as the card being cancelled, unless that ca rd is a Trump, in which case the Court card must be of the suit being played by the player wishing to cancel the Trump. | | | The suit with the highest card (closest to Ten) at the end of the game wins; all players playi ng the winning suit win the game. |

| | The nearest leftmost player to the dealer starts by playing any card from their hand (with few exceptions); rules of play are as follows, and a lower-numbered rule overrides any higher-numbered one. | | | After every player antes, the dealer passes out five cards to each player, one at a time. | | | The game's closest relatives are probably Spades and Poker; like many regional games, Bouré sports a large number of variant rules for both gameplay and betting considerations. |

| | Cards are played from the tableau to the discard pile by value, suit is irrelevant in this game. | | | Cards and sequences may be moved in between piles, as long as the topmost card is legal to be played there. | | | Cards are removed from the game by pairing them up with another of the same rank. |

| | Rules of card games: Tarocchi Bolognesi: Ottocento |
| | Remember that many cards have some potential value, either in themselves or in combinations: usually a pip card from a suit is chosen to give in exchange, or a low numbered trump can be given once the trump sequence is known to be stopped (see Sequences). | | | With 10 cards between 4 players it is most common for the first round of a side suit not to be trumped (except possibly by dealer, who made a discard), and for the second round of a suit to be trumped by at most one player, but neither of these is certain! | | | Cards are counted in pairs, deducting one point from the value of each pair. |

| | Spades - The Game |
| | Leading a medium-low card (6, 7, 8) with the Nil to your left is most effective, since it generally forces the Nil player to go lower, usually leaving him with higher cards in his hand. | | | When you cannot play a lower card, follow with the card which is closest to the highest card played. | | | For example, if someone has 6 cards in a suit, then only 7 cards remain to be distributed among the other 3 players, or an average distribution of 2, 2 and 3. |

| | Game Report: Bryncir |
| | Each player who played off-suit loses the value of that off-suit card. | | | The result was that I still had "power cards" late in the game, in a variety of suits, so I wound up losing few points, taking most tricks, and earning massive points from other players who could not follow suit. | | | To the value of the winning card, add points for the value of the suit, plus the value of any off-suit cards played. |

| | Andy's Playing Cards - Introduction & History |
| | While the former remained popular among wealthy players, the common people played with the cheaper type of decks, consisting of suit cards only, because the tarot game was complicated, because it was not suitable for gambling, because it required a good cultural background to understand the trumps, and also because tarot decks were more expensive. | | | More than one source mentions the "triumph cards" (or "cards of Lombardy") and the "cards for playing" (or "small cards for playing") as separate items. | | | Each Ganjifa suit has two leading cards, which basically have the same meaning of western courts: a king (or lord, or rajah, etc.) and a general (second in rank); the remaining cards have decreasing values, shown by arrangements of suit signs, as in western cards. |

| | Andy's Playing Cards - The Tarot And Other Early Cards - page V - the Mamlûk cards |
| | Due to the geographical and chronologic vicinity of the Persian Ganjifa cards, the most likely hypothesis is that they were used for trick games very similar to the ones played with the tarot, which - it is important to remark this once again - owes its suit cards to the Mamlûk "kings and viceroys". | | | At the top of the court cards, in a blue rectangle very similar to the bottom one, is a saying or aphorism (a different one is found in each card). | | | Furthermore, the cards with odd values (3, 5, 7 and 9) have a different and more ornate pip than cuts vertically through the others in the center of the card. |

| | The cards used to play Go-Stop are smaller and thicker than playing cards used in the West. | | | Most players don't use all the joker cards the way they're intended (writing on the cards tells the player how to use them). | | | To shuffle hwa-tu cards, hold the deck in the left hand, face-down, cupped between the fingers and thumb (face of bottom card resting on palm). |

| | Also, all suit cards will have a bonus that applies if the player takes the figure associated with that card. | | | Reasoning: crunchy stuff affects game balance and it is easier to control that through of cards a player has since if you have a lot of one suit you cannot have a lot of any other suit. |

| | Bridge School - Lesson 4 - Three Important Questions - Fifth Chair Foundation |
| | Because major suit games and no trump games require fewer tricks, they can usually be made with only 26 points total between the hands. | | | Eight cards means that we hold more than half of the trump cards. | | | Usually, no trump contracts require that we can control all the suits (since we can’t trump a suit that opponents lead.) Playing the hand in trumps suits can be a little easier, if we have enough trumps between our two hands. |

| | So now that we've established that the two cards are at MOST 6 apart (allowing a wrap around from K-A-2), we just need to make sure we have a standard method for John and Dianne to number their permutations, so they get the same count. | | | The thing to notice is that given 2 cards of the same suit, they can at most be only 6 cards away from the other in either direction. | | | In fact, after receiving a card from Dianne, the guardian might send to John another (almost identical) card of the same type, to make sure that she didn't use the card to send additional clues to John. |

| | Red suit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The red suits are hearts and diamonds, because most Anglo-American playing cards print these suit symbols in red. | | | Other games, such as Canasta, give special functions to black cards or red cards. | | | There is nothing special about these two suits as a combination in contract bridge, but it is often convenient to be able to talk about suit combinations in this way. |
