TheQueenofHearts

The queen of hearts once ruled my chest, A chamber now empty where love once rest. The spade set me free from my disguise, Now I lie in hallowed earth from where stories rise.

What am I, this remnant of life's fleeting flame, That grins without humor and stands without shame? In frozen mirth, is what I'll be, As I lie awake beneath this tree.

Lets play a game, Stranger. Your choice. I'll even let you shuffle.

Would you like to play a plain trick game like Bridge or Ombre? Perhaps you prefer something like Black Lady, where your goal is to give more than you get.

Scopa, Rummy, Cassino... are all valid as well. A sovereign of suits deals and draws from every deck, and opens up their table for games big and small.

Or do you see yourself as a high roller? An adventurer, a risk taker, a hero who thumbs his nose in the face of fate within the crucibles of Poker and Blackjack. Or perhaps, you are of the less hot headed variety, and enjoy Baccarat, seeking to earn a better future with patience as your ally instead of your enemy.

Whatever your game of choice, my deck has a card for you.

A word of wise warning, Stranger. Unless you figure yourself a joker, do not try to cheat with a trick deck. Just because I'm the Queen of hearts, does not mean I come without all four aces up my sleeve.
