A pack of cards (UK), also called deck (US) is a set of 52 cards divided into four suits. The 13 cards in each suit are as follows:

  • (Ace)
  • King
  • Queen
  • Jack or Knave
  • 10
  • 9
  • 8
  • 7
  • 6
  • 5
  • 4
  • 3
  • 2
  • (Ace)

Depending on the game, Aces may be considered high or low. Card games may use an incomplete pack with one or more cards removed, or a pack with extra cards added, usually jokers. The use of a double pack (104 cards) is also common.
