Spanish

The traditional Spanish deck (referred to as baraja española in Spanish) uses Latin suit symbols, similar to Italian-suited Tarots. However, the Spanish deck uses only the suit cards (with the exception of the 10s and the queens of each suit, which were dropped), with none of the trump cards from the Tarot deck. Being a Latin-suited deck (like the Italian deck), it is organized into four palos (suits) that closely match those of the Italian-suited Tarot deck: oros ("golds" or coins), copas (beakers or cups), espadas (swords) and bastos (batons or clubs). Certain decks include two "comodines" (jokers) as well.
