Reading Regular Playing Cards – Card Titles

This is a short summary of the meanings I assign to regular playing cards. In time, I will add individual pages for each of the cards. It’s how they’ve been taught to me. I am aware that there are many other methods. Feel free to patch together a system that works for you. Note that these are only the “names” of the cards in the system I use.
