It all started with the invention of the first playing card, "The Great Pretender," by a time-traveling aristocrat named Sir Reginald. Little did he know, his creation would become a staple in the world of leisure and entertainment.
Fast forward to the 16th century, the French introduced their own variation, "La Grande Dame." These cards were a hit among the aristocracy for their intricate designs and high-stakes games of piquet.
As the centuries passed, cards evolved into various forms, including the beloved "Tarot" and the infamous "Magic: The Gathering." Each iteration brought its own set of rules, strategies, and, of course, card-wielding enthusiasts.
