The invention of poker cards is a fascinating journey that spans centuries. It all began in ancient China, where the first paper cards were created during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD). These early cards were used for a game called "The Leaf," which was a precursor to modern card games. As trade and cultural exchange flourished, paper cards spread to other parts of Asia and eventually reached Europe through the Silk Road. By the 15th century, Europeans had adapted these cards, creating their own versions with suits like hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. The modern deck of 52 cards emerged in France, with the addition of jokers later in the United States. Poker, as we know it today, evolved in the 19th century in the American South, becoming a staple of gambling and strategy. The game's popularity grew as it spread across the globe, with variations like Texas Hold'em becoming household names.
