Playing cards?
Some games require the use of the jokers, but the reason most put them in is the printing. The basic sheets print the entire deck (both sides) 7 cards by 8 cards, for a total of 56. That would be 52 regular playing cards, two Jokers, and two additional cards with advertising
Reply:My father told me that there was a game where they do actually use the joker but I don't think he ever told me what the name of the game was. Maybe he didn't know himself, just someone else told him. It would be interesting to find out though. Have a star.
