The first known paper cards are created in China. These cards were used for various games, such as the game of "dominoes" or "domino cards" which are the ancestors of todays playing cards. China was using block printing to print currency like paper money for four hundred years.
The use of playing cards spreads to the Islamic world, where they are used for games such as "Ganjifa" and "Mamluk". There's several early references to these cards in Barcelona during the late 14th and 15th century.
Playing cards make their way to Europe, likely via trading routes. The earliest known European reference to playing cards comes from a 1377 document from the city of Florence, Italy. These cards, also called "naip" or "naibbe", were believed to have been spread from Persia and Egypt during the Mamluk era, and into Europe. Eventually spreading into Italy through peninsulas in the second half of the 14th century.
Playing cards become more widespread in Europe, particularly in Germany, Italy, and Spain. The earliest known printed deck of cards is produced in Germany in 1440. To establish themselves as the card-manufacturing nation, they changed the suits replacing Italian ones, reflecting their rural life.
The French begin to adopt playing cards, and their versions of the cards become the most widely used in Europe. As European's didn't understand what the polo sticks were, French card-makers later had an idea of inventing the "French" suit-signs which are simpler to produce.
The modern four-suit deck of cards (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) emerges in France. These suits may have been inspired by earlier Italian suits that featured cups, swords, coins, and batons. Notably, the French came up with what is now known as the four suits dividing them into red's and black's.
Playing cards become increasingly popular in England. The English adopt the French suits, but also add their own touches, such as the use of double-headed court cards. An interesting fact about the English, we owe the honor of the given Ace of Spades, which has it's roots in taxation laws.
Playing cards continue to evolve in Europe, with variations emerging in different countries. For example, German decks often featured a fifth suit of bells, while Italian decks sometimes used a fifth suit of coins. Notably, these various suit systems were associated with specific regions or tax jurisdictions.
The use of playing cards spreads to the Americas, where they become a popular pastime. Gaming clubs never caught on in America because nobody was interested in supporting it. Interestingly enough, Americans continued to gamble after Yorktown like they did when being King George's III subject's.
The printing press makes it easier to produce playing cards in large quantities, leading to an increase in their availability and popularity. During the mid 19th century, "The Joker" or also referred to as "the best bower", was the most popular highest trump card.
Playing cards continue to be popular, with variations and new games emerging. Collecting playing cards also becomes a hobby for some. Games like Pokemon TCG was the most popular rising trading card game in Japan, 1996. Other recognizable games such as Magic: The Gathering, gain popularity in 1993. Both games are still being played today with new versions or additions to the original trading card genre.
