In these happy festivals, some games are essential, which can enhance the atmosphere, and bring us close. With the continuous spread of pandemic, outdoor activities are avoided as soon as possible, some family game cards are popular now.

What is the origination of card games?

Card games first originated in China's Yezi Pu.

"Yezi" was originally just a simple tool, similar to current bookmarks. It was invented in the early Tang Dynasty, mainly clipped in a book, as an auxiliary tool for retrieval and recording. Slowly, after centuries of evolution, in the late Tang Dynasty, the function of the game was split and it became popular. At that time, people played day and night, which shows how obsessed the game was at that time.

So how did the design game cards spread to Europe?

One saying is that during Mongolia’s Westward Expedition, those Mongolians who were keen on games swept across Eurasia in the incarnation of "God’s Whip" and brought them memorable suffering; on the other hand, they also brought card games to the West and brought them endless joy. It's like God made a malicious joke.

Another saying is that it was Arabs or travellers like Mark Polo who passed the cards to Europe. Although the paths are different, both theories insist that card games originated in China.

There is also a saying that the card was first invented by the Persians, then introduced to India, Egypt, and finally to Europe in the 14th century. However, in the modern sense, card games, the most common forms of cards such as spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs, were indeed born in Europe.

Like China, this card game was originally an entertainment activity exclusively for the nobles. Because the cost is very expensive, only nobles have the financial resources and time to play. It was not until the invention of movable type printing in the 15th century that the mass production and widespread popularity of playing cards became possible.

This kind of game became popular in Europe and even developed to the point where countries had to introduce policy restrictions or simply ban them. Because this kind of card game itself is considered to be the chief culprit to kill the mind, and it is often accompanied by gambling.

Card games later also spread to the United States.

As we know, the United States was originally a British colony, and most of the earliest pioneers were Protestants from Britain. It was them who brought the card game to the United States.

The optimistic Americans also improved the card game. The common Joker card was invented by the Americans. They also designed the upside-down portrait of the cards so that when playing cards, there is no need to adjust the front and back of the cards.

At this point, this worldwide card game finally took shape.
