(54) Deck of cards


(57) Cards (10) of thirteen kinds ranging from A to K that belong to a certain class among four classes: spade, club, diamond and heart are turned over so as to exhibit the obverse (11) in the order of the card identification alphanumeric letter (16). By doing so, a character performs a certain series of actions as far as the final card or a card in the middle. Therefore, the player's will to collect cards can be further invoked.
