Extended data:

Poker is also called playing cards. There are many theories about its origin, among which the most accepted one is that playing cards first appeared in China, at least in 969 AD. At that time, a deck of cards in China had four colors, and each color had 14 cards, which were not only used as paper money, but also used for card games.

There is a legend that a Venetian brought a card back to his hometown from China, so Venice was the first place in Europe to have a card. The Venetian traveler may be nicolo Poirot, who returned to Venice from China with his younger brother Madiot around 1269, or the famous Kyle Poirot, the son of nicolo, who went with his father and uncle on his second trip to China.
