It's All In The Cards
A few fun and freaky facts about playing cards: Playing cards date back as far as the 9th Century in China; early production was possible due to the invention of woodblock printing. Decks of 52-cards featuring Jacks, Queens, Kings, Diamonds, Hearts, Clubs, and Spades are known as French-suited cards and are the most common cards found in the Western world. Variations on the suits include: bells, acorns, leaves, clovers, pikes, cups, coins, and swords. The colors black and red are thought to represent day and night. The 4 suits are believed to correspond with the 4 seasons. There are 12 court cards (4 Kings, 4 Queens and 4 Jacks) which might represent the 12 months of the year. Each suit has 13 cards, which corresponds to the lunar cycle each year. There are 52 cards in a deck, which mirrors the number of weeks in a year. If you add up the numerical values of each card (King = 13, Queen = 12 ... 3,2,1), you get 364; add 1 joker, you get 365; add the other joker, you get 366, the number of days in a leap year.

The back of the cards was illustrated by Angela Kirkwood.
A Deck of Cards, is brought to you by Le Puzz and F.U.N. Inc. aka The Foundation of Utter Nonsense aka ... well that's also just us (Le Puzz) ... F.U.N. Inc. operates as a kind of alter-ego for all non-puzzle related projects and products.The back of the cards was illustrated by Angela Kirkwood.
We worked with four of our favorite artists to illustrate the face of each card. Each artist was given a suit and each illustration corresponds to the value of the card. A huge thanks to Tara, Lauren, Liana and Angela for bringing this idea to life!
