Historical Background Of Playing Cards

Playing cards were not invented days before but the history goes back to 1000AD by Chinese. It took 360 years to get into Europe, not by the Chinese themselves but by the Mameluke Empire of Egypt in 1360 bringing these cards with them. Like the cards the history of suits is as old as the cards themselves. The Mamelukes used gold coins, swords, polo sticks, and goblets for suits but these suits were transformed into buttons, swords, cups, coins, and staves and still are trademarks of Italian and Spanish playing cards. 

In the fifteenth century, German and late in 1480 French card makers somehow changed the suits into hearts, leaves, acorns, and bells and people are still using these cards. Later in England, the transformation of these playing cards changed the name suits and they added the diamond in suits and these cards are recognized all around the world.
