     "the NaNs of playing cards": a nice turn of phrase, madam!

     That is even better than Gang of Four's rules which have that the
green phoenix is not a green card, the yellow phoenix is not a yellow
card, and the red dragon is not a red card.  OTOH, the multi-coloured
one can be stated to be any of the colours for the purpose of flushes
and straight flushes.

>Perhaps more importantly, why do we need an order?

     Many card games require order to rank hands or determine which
card beats which.

     I want to see a game where the ranking is circular.  There would
be no ties on two different-value cards if the number of values in the
circle is odd.

     Implement with computing the normal difference in values.  If
this number is six or less, the nominally higher card would be ranked
higher; otherwise, the nominally lower card would be ranked higher.
Example: An ace would beat a king, queen, jack, ten, nine, or eight
and lose to a two, three, four, five, six, or seven.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
