Wow! It's fun...
A suggestion for playaing cards: why not including the "Tarots"?
I mean in French the 4 "Cavaliers" figures, the 18 "Atouts", and the "Excuse"
(which is not exactly a Joker); sorry I don't have their English names.
There are lots of books discussing strategies for "Tarots", which is a popular
card game at least in France and in Northern Italy, with official competitions.
Their exact representation may differ between the modern version and the Old
Tarot of Marseille (the Death, the Hangged man, The Fool, The Judgement, The
Emperor...), and other variants (Russian Tarot of St-Petersburg, Renassance,
Palladini, or the classic Rider Waite Tarot...), but their difference is mostly
graphic.
