Paper had not been invented at that time, so leaves were used as toys. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Chinese ancestors invented a card that can be used for both games and gambling. Around the 13th century AD, this kind of card game spread to Europe. After a period of time, playing cards evolved into poker card game, and it gradually formed a universal poker card and becoming an international poker game.
