The Qard Game Room

The W.F.A. deck: 56 cards, Ace, 1, 2-6, 07, 8-10, J, Q, K in four suits. 52-card games play without the 1s; 52 + 2 uses the 1s of two suits as the jokers; 40-card tables strip 8, 9, 10; 36-card tables strip 2-5; 32-card tables strip 2-6; double-deck tables use two W.F.A. decks. The 07 stays in every configuration as the seven.
