 ====== Playing Cards ======
+===== Collection =====
+Alongside my hobby of card magic and sleight of hands, I collect unique playing cards from all around the world. My collection seeks to have one deck of cards originating from every country in the world. A goal that ambitious may take years, but I will try.
-Alongside my hobby of card magic and sleight of hands, I collect unique playing cards from all around the world. My collection seeks to have one deck of cards originating from every country in the world. A goal that ambitious may take years, but I will try. The following is a world map, highlighting the countries from which I’ve collected a deck.
+==== Rules of the Collection ====
+I have made some some strict rules around my collection.
+  - The cards must somehow represent the country, in any manner. It could be from imagery from that country, or a simple "Made in _______" on the deck.
+  - I, or a person I know, must purchase the deck in it's country of origin.
+  - The deck cannot be bought online.
+  - The deck must be of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_52-card_deck|standard 52-card deck]], meaning it has four suits (Spades, Diamonds, Clubs, and Hearts), running from the Ace to the King

-====== My Favorite Deck ======
+===== My Favorite Deck =====
 My favorite deck of playing cards is, drumroll please... a standard Bicycle! The United States Playing Card Company (USPCC) make the best playing cards for the price, you get the greatest bang for you buck. The following is a list explaining why I prefer standard Bicycles:
   * Cheap! They're only around $3, and they can last a very long time (depending on how I use them). For casual games, it can last months, and for magic, it could last a couple weeks.
