Class Card

java.lang.Object

wcg.shared.cards.Card

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Card>

public class Card
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<Card>, java.io.Serializable

Instances of this class represent cards. Regular cards have a suit - ♣, ♦, ♥, ♠ - and a value - A, 2, 3 ... 9, J, Q, K. Jokers have a null value, hence 5 jokers are possible - the 4 regular suits and the null suit -, although only 2 are typically available in physical card decks. In compareTo(), null suits and values are before all others.
