A standard pack of playing cards consists of 52 cards as well as two jokers. The 52 cards are split into 4 groups (called suits), hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds. Each suit has 13 cards, nine that are numbered sequentially from 2 and 10 and four picture cards, called the jack, queen, king and ace.
