Playing cards / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about a deck of cards from which some cards have been removed. For trick decks with tapered cards, see Trick deck § Stripper deck.
A stripped deck or short deck (US), short pack or shortened pack (UK), is a set of playing cards reduced in size from a full pack or deck by the removal of a certain card or cards.[1] The removed cards are usually pip cards, but can also be court cards or Tarot cards. Many card games use stripped decks, and stripped decks for popular games are commercially available.
