The history of playing cards

The origins of playing cards are often linked to 9th-century China, where cards were first used as a form of paper money in games. From there, they spread to India and Persia, before arriving in Europe via trade routes in the 14th century. Initially, playing cards were luxury items, with hand-painted designs that only the elite could afford. As printing technology improved, they became more accessible to everyone. The standard printed playing cards that we know today, including the four well-known symbols - hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs - originated in France in the 15th century. These cards became a standard worldwide and have been a part of all kinds of games and entertainment ever since. 

How do you use printed playing cards?

Printed playing cards are enormously versatile. They are used not only for games such as Poker, Bridge or Patience, but also for magic tricks, card art and even as an educational tool. They bring people together, whether for a competitive evening or a relaxing moment. But playing cards also have a more practical side. They are used in team-building activities, classes to develop critical thinking, and even in psychological exercises to recognise patterns. 

In addition, cards have decorative and symbolic value. Many people collect unique decks as art objects or use them as part of themed parties or weddings. This versatility makes playing cards much more than just a means of entertainment.
