Are there 52 or 54 cards in a deck?

A standard deck of playing cards contains 52 cards. The deck is typically divided into the following suits:

• Hearts
• Diamonds
• Clubs
• Spades

Each suit has 13 cards: Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, and King.

Additionally, there are often 2 Joker cards included, which are not part of the standard 52-card set but are included in many card games for specific purposes, making the total number of cards 54 when counting the Jokers.

So, in summary:

• Standard deck: 52 cards (without Jokers)
• Deck with Jokers: 54 cards (including 2 Jokers)
