Asconian playing cards are a system of cards used in various Asconian, Hearnish and Toamts games originating in Asconia around the 300s ANB. They are derived from Namunian sata decks introduced to the area around 150 ANB.
Deck
A full deck of Asconian playing cards is comprised of four suits: bells, flowers, buttons and batons, 7 of each with 6 numbered cards and one king. A full deck is therefore 28 cards in total.

Kings
The kings of each suit are represented by patterns radiating from the centre of the card. These include:
- The King of Bells, a compass (related to the bells in that it is a metallic object),
- The King of Flowers, a four-petal flower with two large leaves,
- The King of Buttons, a pincushion with ten pins, and
- The King of Batons, ten radiating swords around a shield.
Kings are the highest rank in each suit and usually correspond to the number 7 or 10 for scoring, depending on the game.
