This library gives you access to a functional deck of cards, and a deck of blackjack cards.

Decks can be initialized with a shoe_size

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'playing_cards'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install playing_cards

require 'playing_cards'

# normal 52 card deck
deck = PlayingCards::Deck.new
deck.cards.count #=> 52
# card rank values are A=0 to K=12

# many decks for games that require multiple packs of cards
deck = PlayingCards::Deck.new(12)
deck.cards.count #=> 624

# blackjack deck with 4 shoes
deck = BlackjackCards::Deck.new(12)
deck.cards.count #=> 208
# aces now have 11 for a rank value
# face cards are 10
