![]() A deck may include special cards that belong to no suit, often called jokers. In a single deck, there is exactly one card of any given rank in any given suit. Ranking indicates which cards within a suit are better, higher or more valuable than others, whereas there is no order between the suits unless defined in the rules of a specific card game. The rank for each card is determined by the number of pips on it, except on face cards. Most often, each card bears one of several pips (symbols) showing to which suit it belongs the suit may alternatively or additionally be indicated by the color printed on the card. In playing cards, a suit is one of the categories into which the cards of a deck are divided. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols.

After a question has been posed, any player has the right to name a solution. Once a player has revealed a card, the next player may ask a question. Lacking both cards, the neighbour repeats the question to the next player on the left in turn and this continues until a player reveals one of the two cards.If the neighbour only has one of the two cards, it is shown to the questioner without revealing it to anyone else.If the neighbour has both, either one of them is shown in such a way that only the questioner can see it.For example, the first player, wanting to find out whether the second has the Queen of Spades and Three of Hearts, would say: "The Queen of Spades has three sons." The first player begins by asking the neighbour on their left to reveal certain cards. The aim is, through skilful questioning and logical deduction, to work out which two cards (one court card and one numbered Heart) are face down in the middle of the table. The remaining twenty cards are then shuffled together and dealt to each player. Likewise the ten Heart cards are shuffled and one is placed on the table. The game uses the twelve court cards (four Jacks, four Queens and four Kings), as well as the ten Heart cards ( ace through ten).īefore the game starts, the twelve court cards are shuffled and one card is removed from them at random and placed face down in the middle of the table, without any player seeing its face.
