[[File:Svg-cards-2.0.svg|left|thumb|52 French-suited playing cards with jokers, with honors marked in English]]
French decks come in a variety of patterns and deck sizes. The [[Standard 52-card deck|52-card deck]] is the most popular deck and includes 13 ranks of each suit with reversible "court" or face cards. Each suit includes an [[Ace (playing card)|ace]], depicting a single symbol of its suit, a king, queen, and jack, each depicted with a symbol of their suit; and ranks two through ten, with each card depicting that number of pips of its suit. As well as these 52 cards, commercial packs often include between one and six jokers, most often two.

Decks with fewer than 52 cards are known as [[stripped deck]]s. The [[piquet pack]] has all values from 2 through 6 in each suit removed for a total of 32 cards. It is popular in France, the [[Low Countries]], Central Europe and is used to play [[piquet]], [[belote]], [[bezique]] and [[Skat (card game)|skat]]. Values in Russian 36-card stripped deck (used to play [[durak]] and many other traditional games) range from 6 to 10. It is also used in the Sri Lankan, [[whist]]-based game known as ''omi''. Forty-card French suited packs are common in northwest Italy; these remove the 8s through 10s like Latin-suited decks. 24-card decks, removing 2s through 8s are also sold in Austria and Bavaria to play [[Schnapsen]].

A [[pinochle]] deck consists of two copies of a 24-card [[schnapsen]] deck, thus 48 cards.

The 78-card [[Tarot Nouveau]] adds the knight card between queens and jacks along with 21 numbered trumps and the unnumbered [[The Fool (Tarot card)|Fool]].
