Dependant on the rules all or a determined amount of cards are dealt out. The cards may be dealt one at a time, or in groups. It normally starts with the player next to the dealer in the direction of play and continues in the same direction around the table. The rules of the game will specify the details of the deal. This is done by dealer holding the pack, face down, in one hand, and removing cards from the top of it with her other hand to distribute to the players, placing them face down on the table in front of the players to whom they are dealt. The formerly lower portion is then replaced on top of the formerly upper portion. The invitation to cut is made by placing the pack, face downward, on the table near the player who is to cut: who then lifts the upper portion of the pack clear of the lower portion and places it alongside.

There are also some card games that require multiple standard decks. Many European regions have their own variants of the standard deck having different names and imagery for suits, or having a different set of ranks in the cards. In addition to games that use the standard deck, there are also games that use some modification of the standard deck, for example removing all cards of rank lower than some rank (e.g., a pinochle deck), adding a special card ( joker) to the standard deck, or rearranging the ranks of the cards. The set of cards that make up the deck are known to all of the players using that deck.Īlthough many games have special decks of cards, the standard deck contains 52 cards in four suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades) and thirteen ranks running from two ( deuce) to ten, jack, queen, king, and ace.

The backs of the cards in a deck are indistinguishable. Each card has two sides, the face and the back.
