As early as the14th century or earlier, many places in Europe were already producing a large number of cards, among which Nuremberg, augsburg and Ulm were famous. Relevant records show that Tarot cards were mentioned in an Italian document 1299; Johanna, the wife of Duke Brabent, 1379 taught cards in Holland. In Spain, playing cards have been around for at least 137 1 year. Playing cards are called naipes in Spanish. 1392, French king charles vi ordered Jacqueline Granguaid to draw a deck of cards by hand. This historical fact led to the statement that cards originated in France. But it is obvious that the deck ordered by the French king is just a deck similar to other cards that have been used for a long time. At that time, the royal treasurer, who was in charge of paying the accounts with money, said that there were three decks of cards printed with "gold and various colors, with many decorations for our king's entertainment." Among them, the 17 card was exhibited in the National Library of France.

The card was introduced to Britain later than to other European countries. Josie died on 1400. Although he detailed all kinds of entertainment activities at that time, he never mentioned cards: "They danced, they played chess and ate." The information about Edward I of England playing the game of Four Kings (K) in flanged clothes almost certainly refers to some other game, perhaps some form of chess game. 1465 is the earliest explicit reference to English playing cards. This year, British poker manufacturers applied to Edward IV of England, England to ban the import of Zach cards made in foreign countries, and an appropriate law can be used as evidence. Playing cards, as a luxury, can provide a great source of tax for the state. In Britain, playing cards were first taxed in 16 15.
