Hello everyone !

Why a game with 52 cards?

If you own a classic deck of cards, it normally has 52 cards.

But why this figure and not 50 or 58 exactly?

The 52-card deck is actually based on the ancient Egyptian lunar calendar.

 The 52 cards represent the 52 weeks of the year.

And that's not all: the 13 cards that make up each color designate the 13 lunar months of the Egyptian calendar.

And, finally, the 4 colors represent the 4 elements: water, earth, fire and air.

Good day and good game ;)
