- Go to For Those Of You Who Enjoy Playing Cards, Did You Know the History?
Used them to play solitaire before it was put on the computer. I'm not even sure I have playing cards here anymore. It's more fun reading this about them than playing with them for me.

Wow. I didn't use that. That'll be a good conversation starter during a game of cards.

Re: Pat_B, you're welcome. I had no clue either, but I love cards.
Spades and rummy are one of my favorites.

I did not know which king they represented, but I always suspected
they were historical figures. Thanks for the info.
