"Just what there is about a pack of playing cards that makes it such a universal favorite among games is difficult to discover. Perhaps it is that there are several hundred different games that can be played with the same pack of cards - thus providing a wide range of selection and interest at very little cost for equipment. Or perhaps it is the variety of skills (memory, concentration) required...or the relaxation that playing cards offers...or the flexibility in the number of players that can be accommodated."
Good Reading Rack Service, 1956
