Everybody loves playing cards because they’re fun. But as the geeky designers behind code:deck prove, playing cards can be educational, too!

Each of the numbers in a code:deck shows an example of a programming language. The Jack, for instance, is JavaScript and features a snippet of code that defines the cards. Here’s a breakdown of all the numbers and their corresponding programming languages:

2: Assembly

3: Bash

4: C++

5: Brainfuck

6: Python

7: Objective-C

8: C#

9: JAVA

10: PHP

Jack: JavaScript

Queen: CSS

King: HTML

Ace: SQL

The cards are all made of chrome matte paper with a UV coating on each side, so they stay fresh and smooth when you shuffle.

With just a snippet, you’re probably not going to learn the entire coding language. But for $10 a deck, you’ll certainly smarten up your local poker game.
