Take a look at the card that doesn’t play by the rules.
In a deck of cards, one special card stands out from the others. It adds an element of surprise to games. It’s the Joker, a card with the face of a strange character who appears to have a few tricks up his sleeve.
The history of the modern Joker card can be traced back to the 1800s. It was designed for Euchre, a card game that was popular among soldiers during the American Civil War. As Euchre’s rules evolved, players began adding an extra blank card to the standard card deck. This blank card became the highest trump card in the game. Card manufacturers quickly realized the potential of this additional card and began producing cards with images instead of leaving them blank. The earliest example of the Joker card was created by Samuel Hart in 1863. The name Joker appeared shortly after as it captured the card’s wild spirit.
The Joker was likely inspired by the Fool card from the Tarot deck. Like the Fool, the Joker doesn’t belong to any of the four major suits. Over time, the use of the Joker became more common. It was included in many other games, such as Poker and Spades.

了解這張不按牌理出牌的撲克牌。
在一副紙牌中，一張特別的牌從其他牌中脫穎而出。它為遊戲添加了驚喜的要素。這張牌是鬼牌，它有著奇異角色的面孔，看似暗藏詭計。
現代鬼牌的歷史可以追溯至十九世紀。它是為了尤克牌而設計的，其為一個在美國內戰期間受士兵們歡迎的卡牌遊戲。隨著尤克牌的規則演變，玩家們開始在標準牌組中加入一張額外的空白牌。這張空白牌成為遊戲中位階最高的王牌。紙牌製造商很快就意識到這張額外牌的潛力，開始製造有圖像的牌，而非將其留白。最早的鬼牌是由山姆．哈特於 1863 年創造的。不久之後，鬼牌這個名字就出現，因為它捕捉到這張牌的狂野精神。
鬼牌可能受到塔羅牌中愚者這張牌的啟發。和愚者一樣，鬼牌不屬於四組主要花色的任何一組。隨著時間的推移，鬼牌的使用變得更加普遍。它被包含在撲克與黑桃王等其他許多遊戲之中。
