In card games, "Card Ranks" refer to the hierarchy of cards based on their value. Typically, cards are ranked from highest to lowest, with Ace often considered the highest, followed by King, Queen, Jack, and numbered cards from 10 down to 2. The specific ranking can vary depending on the game being played. Understanding card ranks is essential for gameplay, as they determine the strength of a player's hand. In games like Poker or Bridge, higher-ranked cards can lead to winning combinations, while in others, such as War, the rank dictates which card wins in a direct comparison.
