Spanish playing cards

Spanish playing cards are cards used to play popular games like poker or bridge. They usually come in a deck of 40 cards, with four suits and 10 cards in each suit. The four suits are gold coins, cups, swords, and clubs. Each of the four suits has a King, Queen, Jack, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Each card also has a symbol on it so that you can tell which suit it belongs to—the King of coins has a picture of a king on the card, and the 8 of cups has a picture of 8 cups. When you play Spanish playing cards, you can use the different suits and numbers to try to build combinations that win the game.
