I just went through them and found out that from all four suits cards 2-5 are missing. I googled this situation and saw a link to someone who had a deck with identical missing cards, but the link was no good anymore, so I couldn't see if his question ever got answered. Does anyone here have any insights?

Does anyone here have any insights? Don't some games use only card from a certain number and up? I thought it would be 9 though. I never play cards so I don't know.

#7 Shiftkitty Mar 15, 2010 21:12:52	Wow! I never knew there were so many different kinds of decks! Thanks! Today I heard of a Russian game called Durak that uses a 36 card deck. Looks like I've got some new games to learn!
