Dedicated deck card game

Educational packs of cards were being printed by the late eighteenth century, initially designed merely to inform, but later becoming playable games.

Modern card games are often sold with non-standard distributions of suits and ranks.

By the late eighteenth century, educational packs of cards were being printed without suits or ranks, such as The Elements of Astronomy and Geography Explained, published by John Wallis in 1795.

[4] An early 20th century dedicated deck card game was Touring, published in 1906,[5] and inspiring Mille Bornes in 1954.

[5][6] Play typically bears some resemblance to traditional card games of the Eights family including Mau Mau from which Uno may have been developed, as well as games of the Cuccu family, such as Kille in which there are no suits, but certain cards have artwork and names that determine their effect.
