The typical northern German pack goes from ranks 7, 8, 9, 10, Under Knave (Unter), Over Knave (Ober), King (KΓΆnig), and Ace (Ass) for a total of 32 cards. Southern patterns have 36 cards by including the 6. The most known Germanic-suit decks is Schafkopf and Doppelkopf. The French suits deck are a derivative of the German suits but are generally considered a separate system on its own. As cards spread from Italy to Germanic countries, the Latin suits were replaced with the suits of Leaves (or Shields), Hearts (or Roses), Bells, and Acorns, and a combination of Latin and Germanic suit pictures and names resulted in the French suits of trΓ¨fles (clovers), carreaux (tiles), cΕurs (hearts), and piques (pikes) around 1480. The French suits (52 cards, 32 cards and 78 cards versions) is the most used playing cards around the world over two last centuries.
