Free Time Fun: Card Games

The cards used in card games come in two red suits, hearts and diamonds; and two black ones, clubs and spades. Each suit has nine cards numbered two to ten, and also an ace, a king and a queen, and a jack or a knave.
We say the king of hearts / the jack of clubs / the queen of diamonds / the ace of spades / the ten of hearts.
The square table used for playing card games, which can be folded and stored when not used, is called card table. In the US, children often have to sit at card tables when large families eat a special meal together, for example at Thanksgiving or Christmas, because there is not enough space at the regular table.
