Hidden in a deck of cards

We learn everyday 🤔

And I just learned the original meaning of the card game:

 52 cards for 52 weeks in the year.
 4 colors for each season and therefore 13 weeks per season.
 If we add each of the cards (as+as+as+as+s+sept+sept+night.... and etc) of the game we'll get 364. 

The card game is an agricultural calendar that informed us about the weeks and seasons. With each new season it was king's week, followed by queen's week, valet and so on until the week of SA which changed the season and we would start again with a new color.

 The jokers used to be used in leap years.

This explanation comes from Mr Jean Dion
