We spend days playing our 13 card rummy or other favourite games, but these basic facts miss our eye:

  • The King of diamonds brandishes an axe whereas all the other kings carry swords.
  • The King of diamonds is also the only one-eyed king and he is the only king without hands.
  • All three Kings other than the King of hearts have a moustache.
  • Only the King of spades faces right.
  • Only the Queen of spades among all of the Queens faces rightward.
  • All four carry flowers, but only the Queen of spades has a sceptre.
  • The heart and spade Jacks are one eyed and face one another in profile, whereas the other two Jacks are two-eyed and face each other in a ¾ view.
  • The Jack of hearts alone carries a leaf, and each Jack holds a different object: a sceptre, an axe, a sword or a spear.
