The court card images are mostly based on those found on German playing cards from the 1500s. The pip cards are stenciled with the traditional French suits. http://www.knauer.org/mike/sca/classes/Laurel_Challenge_-_Playing_Cards.pdf Sat, 07 Feb 2009 19:12:29 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=19810 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=19810 Wherein is deciphered, all the conueyances of Legerdemaine and Iugling, how they are effected, & wherin they chiefly consist.

While a single building might serve as a church for the Glory of God and yet at the same time be a hospital to tend to the sick and injured, another multi-purpose establishment might be combination restaurant, bar, gambling den, and brothel. One such establishment has left a curious document, which details various games played and wagers placed within, during the later years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth the first. These games include Hazard, Basset, High Roll, Quilles, Shove-Groat, Landsquenet, Ranter Go Round, Poch (or Glic), Alquerque A Doz, Queek, and the Game of the Goose. http://www.florilegium.org/files/ENTERTAINMENT/Brothel-Games-art.html Thu, 08 Nov 2007 15:59:54 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=16768 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=16768 Explore playing cards, their history, design and manufacture, and see many different types of cards from around the world.
