Standard Card Suit Ordering?

VenalWinfrey | 11:39 Sun 26th Sep 2004 | Quizzes & Puzzles

3 Answers

I like playing card games with my friends/family and we have recently stumbled on a problem, - agreeing over the card suit hierarchy. My personal belief is that there is a (UK?) standard ordering, based on their alphabetical position: i.e. from lowest to highest, (C)lubs, (D)iamonds, (H)earts and then (S)pades being the highest. Is this correct? I have checked a website and it just says that there are many different orders, and no one definitive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The order you have given is the order of precedence in the game of Bridge (though this precedence applies only in the bidding stage).

To quote my copy of The Penguin Book of Card Games: "The four suits are basically of equal status, none being higher or better than another, except as the rules of a particular game may specify."

Depends on the game you are playing. A good way to find out is by going to a game site like Yahoo or Pogo and reading the rules for the specific card game you are going to be playing. For example one game that definitely has a pecking order is the game of SPADES when 2's are wild, hence some 2's are stronger than others depending on suit. Read rules for the game of "Euchre" too this might help.
