The Queen Playing Card is a playing card
with the picture of what appears to be a queen on its front surface. In a
standard English deck of playing, the Queen of Hearts represents Elizabeth of
York, who was the Queen Consort of Henry VII of England in the past. Card
manufacturers in France have assigned each court card certain mythological or
historical personages such as the Queen of Hearts and Queen of Spades as the
Biblical figure Judith and mythological figure Athena, respectively. The Queen
of Diamonds is assigned the name Rachel, also a Biblical figure, and the
anagram of Regina—Argine—to the Queen of Clubs. A complete set of playing cards
that includes the four Queens is called a pack in the British English, and deck
in American English. The face of each card bears markings that distinguish it
from the other cards in the pack or deck but its back is identical with all the
other cards.
Various
Queen’s card games.
The Queen’s card is played in a variety of card games. One is called The Queen, a two-player card game of
four rounds. Its objective is to have the first player to score seven points or
the player with the highest number of points as winner after four rounds. But
the player with the most points wins the game if neither of them scores seven
points at the end of the four rounds.
Using a standard 52-card deck, the game is played between two players
opposite each other with a table between them and one of them serving as dealer
for the first round. The Queen
of Spades
card game is played usually in a group of four to 10 persons, split into two
teams by choice or randomly. The player has the objective of winning the game
by being the first to get to 2,000 points. Teammates are not seated next to
each other but are spaced so that a member of the opposite team will be between
them.
Dark
Queen play.
This is another way to play the Queen’s card with the objective of getting rid
of all the cards, especially the black Queen from the players. The game begins
by taking the Queen of Clubs from the deck to
leave the other black Queen in it. The cards are dealt evenly among the players
who must see if they have matches which, if any, are put to the side. A player
who has no match in his hand holds his cards to the player to his right. This
process goes on until only one player is left with the only card which is the
black Queen.
Queen
Anne’s game.
A variant of a commercial card game, this is played with a normal 52-card deck
among an ideal number of four players. Each of them is dealt three cards with
different values which must not exceed 99. If one has the card Queen, the value
is plus or minus 20, but the King makes the total 99 regardless of the value of
the other cards. Card 10 has a value of 10 and cards 2,3,4, 5,6,7,8 and 9 have
their respective face value.
Faerie
Queen solitaire. This uses 104 cards of two decks for a
solitaire game, with the aces moved to the foundations or card files when they
are available. A King is removed from the deck and placed on the first tableau
or file of cards, where all cards are dealt from the stockpile up to the next
King. The rule prohibits moving of cards from one tableau to the next before
the deal is completed. Fore more details click here.
