One of the popular card game is rummy; hearts; euchre; skat; blackjack; five hundred; red dog; and piquet. Each game has its own set of rules. 

Playing Cards: There are 52 playing cards in set, also called a pack or deck. The 52 cards are divided into four suits of 13 cards each. There are two black suits (spades and clubs) and two red suits (hearts and diamonds). Each suit includes 10 spot cards that range from 1 (ace) to 10. Each suit also has three court (picture) cards: jack, queen, and king. These cards do not picture modern royalty, but are stylized drawing that probably originated during the Middle Ages. In many games, such as bridge, the ace is the highest card. But, in some, the cae is used as 1 and king ranks highest.

Playing of cards is originated in A.D. 800 at India and China. It than went to Europe in late 1200's. Soon after spread to Germany, France and Spain.
