History of Rummy Card

Maybe all this time we never cared, but the cards that we know is the type of card from the UK. As JACK (J), Queen (Q), KING (K) and ACE (A). This type of card from the UK in one setnya totaling 52 pieces, plus the JOKER. Ok, let's to the point.

There are some phenomenon that we often play cards:

  The numbers are 52, why 52? Number of the week in a year is 52, and each card represents one week.

  52 (5 +2) = 7 = 7 days a week.

  Because of the UK that in fact four seasons so the card has 4 types:


¤ ♠ Spade represents winter.
Heart ♥ ¤ represents autumn
¤ Diamond ♦ represents spring
Club ♣ ¤ represent summer

  In one type there are 13 cards (from As s / d King) 13 is the number of weeks in a season.

  13 (1 +3) = 4 = number of seasons in a year = 4 corners of the same item angin.Warna red, symbolizing the Day and Night.

  If the number of cards in one type you jumlahin all (As = 1, Jack = 11, Queen = 12 and King = 13), the total number is 364! Equal to the number of days in a year, plus 1 Joker, to 365 days.

If the number of letters of the names of a single deck of cards you count, both in English, Dutch, German or French, then the number is 52! Just as the number of weeks in 1 year .. !!
