What is Ace (card)?
[[File:4afd.JPG|thumb|Four aces from a [[Standard 52-card deck]]]] An '''ace''' is a [[playing card]], [[Dice|die]] or [[domino]] which has a value of one unless its the first card given to the player where its value is 11 however this is most commonly seen when you're playing 21. It used to mean the side of a [[dice|die]] with only one dot.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Parlett|first1=David|title=The Oxford Guide to Card Games|date=1990|publisher=Oxford|location=Oxford|page=32}}</ref> Since this was the lowest roll of the die, it was thought of as 'bad luck' in [[Middle English]]. The ace is often the highest playing card, so the meaning has changed to mean good. == References == {{reflist}} {{stub}} [[Category:Card games]]
