Sam gives us the deal on playing cards for part two in our pair of stories about decorated pieces of paper. From the artwork on the face, to the composition of the numbers and pips, playing cards come in many forms and act as an open source to imagine games. Sam comes flush with history and gives it to us straight for this full house of an episode. If you haven’t yet, go check out Part 1 of the story, Pick a Card, before listening!

Produced and hosted by Brian Moore and Sam Malott Brown.

Story Editing, Audio engineering, and mixing by Julia Sikora.
