What do you do after a long ride? Some bikers like to kick back, drink some beer, and play a little poker. This card game has been played for years, and a number of different versions of the game have evolved from the basic five card version. Since the game originated in the early 1800s (possibly in New Orleans, but no one is certain), it has become one of the most popular social games in the world. There are national and world championship tournaments held every year that award millions to the winners, but the game is also simple enough that you can play it on a folding table with a few of your buddies. If you love poker, this Ace Of Diamonds Patch should definitely be on your jacket. It's one of the Small Cool Patches on The Cheap Place.
The ace is considered to be the highest card in the standard 52-card deck. Each of the four suits (hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs) has one ace, and while it was originally terms the lowest card, in some card games, it ranks the highest, standing above the three 'face' cards (jack, queen, and king) and the nine numbered cards (two through ten). In some games, poker included, the ace can either be used as a one (as in a straight of ace, two, three, four, five) or as the highest card (as in a straight of ten, jack, queen, king, ace).
This patch depicts a traditional ace of diamonds in red. It measures two inches across by three inches tall, so it's one of the smallest patches you'll find. But by itself, one ace doesn't win any hands, so you should pair it up with the patches representing the ace of clubs, ace of hearts, and ace of spades.
