History of Playing Cards explained in 5 Minutes.

I love the fact that you played the Sting song Shape of My Heart at 2:19.

Flowers, bells, acorns and shields, that sums up Switzerland really

[@danieljhalab6775]

Most of central Europe really Btw mariagenspiel is the best card game in my humble opinion

[@fateal7655]

So there are 52 cards because that's the number of weeks in a year, and there are 4 groups to resemble the 4 seasons

[@FebrianFidra]

That’s dope ngl…

[@liane_is_here]

Every season contains 13 cards which refer to 13 weeks for a quarter

[@Crockist]

Here's a factoid about playing cards: A Spanish-suited deck of playing cards has no 8s, 9s, or 10s. The deck also uses clubs, cups, coins, and swords (Seen at 4:19).

[@AlexandroMechina-yb3tf]

4:29 Spanish deck is still this way : ORO :gold PALO: club COPA: cup ESPADA: Sword In latin america we use the spanish deck, Brazil for being a Portuguese colony Adopted the English/French deck (I think is related to the time the Portuguese king married Henry VIII sister.

This is a great video!! And your use of Jack Nicolson's Joker as a reference is absolute perfection! Your great taste in references alone should earn you millions of subscribers! I hope people flock to your channel!

[@macgames]

The names of the kings and other face cards on early French decks weren't as consistent as some people think, and could vary depending on the printer. Sometimes it was historic figures, sometimes legendary figures like Lancelot.

[@jannapresley5431]

And he doesn't even mention the Tarot. The Traveller's. This is a misogynistic, white-washed, Eurocentric focus. Sad that folks are buying his BS. A "sleight of bland," as it were.

Thank you for posting. Very interesting.

[@zacharylee1995]

Yes I Agree

[@erickybobby7932]

Crazy the song shape my heart and juice wrld become famous from making a song with that same beat remixes 🔥💯LLJ

[@gurtana]

This was fascinating. Do you have an recommendations for purchasing playing card decks that are based upon the earliest types of playing cards and show their evolution? It would be lovely to have a early /historical deck

[@ArtofImpossible]

Thank you! This is a great question, I have been looking for something like that myself and, unfortunately, couldn't find anything! If you look for smth like "Spanish suits deck" you will for sure find a deck with original Spanish suits. But to my knowledge no big card brand (USPCC, Cartamundi etc) produces decks based on historical card designs.

[@BrentDubroc]

@@ArtofImpossible Great video but did you really not mention that the suits of the original Chinese playing cards were based around money and that those were what led to the coins, batons, cups, and swords of the Mamluk and early European decks?

[@JakeThomasCreative]

Thank you for this excellent video!

[@IMBABABOOEY]

02:43 Actually this is wrong, idk why people can't see it. It's the other way around, King of Hearts is Alexander the Great and King of Clubs is Charlemagne. One dead giveaway is the Globus Cruciger that the King of Clubs is holding, exactly like Charlemagne. On the other hand we have King of Hearts which is the ONLY King (inside a standard deck) who does not have a moustache/full beard, since he did shave daily as well as he commanded his army to do so as well.

[@faramund9865]

Great video, thank you.

[@romaerb4161]

Thanks for sharing. More than I knew before today!

[@DivinedynamicsADD]

So 52 cards represent the 52 weeks in a year before suits represents the four seasons if you add the cards up it comes out to 364 and the jokers are for the leap year

[@helmar_rudolph]

The Joker in the system of cardology represents December 31, and using its solar value (55 -day - month - month = 0) it's not only resembling the fool in the Tarot, but it also connects the highest card in the deck, the King of Spades (solar value = 52 ( 55 -1 - 1 - 1) on January 1, with the lowest card, the Ace of Hearts on December 30, solar value 1 ( 55 - 30 - 12 - 12). There's an amazing system hiding behind it that very very few people know, lest understand.

[@EricHowl]

[@JTKatz07]

Had no clue why the Ace was higher than a King. Thanks!

[@helmar_rudolph]

The ace is the 1 and comes before the 2 and again after the King. It stands for desire, whereas the King stands for mastery. The King is the 13th card and stands for a higher level of consciousness, which is the opposite of the desire for something. But as we know from hermeticism, extremes meet, and here they do it in the most beautiful form.

[@BeefedUpBiscuit]

I don't know how i got here but nice video

[@Rouge_Gems]

"The French didn't like Royalty" ironic you say that, because France was Monarchy during Ancient and Medieval times, and also Magicians don't use Playing cards, because Playing cards are made for either Playing games, or gambling.

Jesus🙏 is the King of Hearts❤️

[@helmar_rudolph]

No, he's the Jack of Hearts. In Cardology at least. He sits fixed in the Jupiter column on the Venus line, "on the cross" so to say. It's the spiritual sacrifice card, giving blessings in love. The King of Hearts sits on the Mars line in the Mercury column, which exudes a completely different energy.
