Sueca (card Game)
Sueca (meaning ''Swedish (female)'' in Portuguese) is a 4 player-partnership point trick-taking card game of the Ace-Ten family, and a popular variant of the Bisca card game. The game is played in Portugal, Brazil, Angola and other Portuguese communities. Its closest relative is the very similar German game Einwerfen. Sueca is, by far, the most played game in Portugal. It is frequently known as the Portuguese national card game. History Very little is known about the origins of Sueca. The rules of the game are passed down generationally, but vary slightly from region to region in Portugal, its archipelagos of Madeira and Azores and its former colonial territories of Brazil, Angola and Mozambique. Its close similarities to Bisca, although played with partnerships optional and with 3-, 7- or 9-card dealt hands, is evidence of its assumed ancestor, the Italian game Briscola.

Play is a range of Motivation#Incentive theories: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, intrinsically motivated activities done for recreational pleasure and enjoyment. Play is commonly associated with children and juvenile-level activities, but may be engaged in at any life stage, and among other higher-functioning animals as well, most notably mammals and birds.

Play is often interpreted as frivolous; yet the player can be intently focused on their objective, particularly when play is structured and goal-oriented, as in a game. Accordingly, play can range from relaxed, free-spirited and spontaneous through frivolous to planned or even compulsive. Play is not ...

Spanish Playing Cards
Spanish-suited playing cards or Spanish-suited cards have four suits, and a deck is usually made up of 40 or 48 cards (or even 50 by including two jokers). It is categorized as a Latin-suited deck and has strong similarities with the Italian-suited deck and some to the French deck. Spanish-suited cards are used in Spain, southern Italy, parts of France, Hispanic America, North Africa, and the Philippines. Description Playing cards, originally of Chinese origin, were adopted Mamluk Egypt by the 14th century if not earlier, and from there spread to the Iberian peninsula. The Spanish word ''naipes'' is loaned from ''nā'ib'', ranks of face cards found in the Mamluk deck. The earliest record of ''naip'' comes from a Valencian rhyming dictionary by Jaume March II in 1371, but without any context or definition. By 1380, ''naipero'' (card-maker) was a recognized profession. Valencia's town council issued a blanket ban on ''un novell joch apellat dels naips'' (a new game called c ...
