Clubs (also known as clovers or flowers in some parts of Africa) is one of the four suits found in the "international" deck of playing cards. The standard "international" deck uses the French suit system.
In bridge, it ranks lowest out of all four suits, below Diamonds. In some card games of Germanic origin such as Skat or Sheepshead, the suits rank: clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds. In cartomancy, it is typically associated with war.[clarification needed][citation needed]
The symbol, believed to be an adaptation of the German suit of acorns[1], was first used on French playing cards, made in Rouen and Lyon in the 15th Century, around the time that playing cards were first mass-produced by the use of woodcuts.
