The Joker is a playing card found in most modern French-suited card decks, as an addition to 💶 the standard four suits (Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, and Spades). Since the second half of the 20th century, they have also 💶 been found in Spanish- and Italian-suited decks, excluding stripped decks.

The Joker originated in the United States during the Civil War, 💶 and was created as a trump card for the game of Euchre. It has since been adopted into many other 💶 card games, where it often acts as a wild card, but may have other functions such as the top trump, 💶 a skip card (forcing another player to miss a turn), the lowest-ranking card, the highest-value card, or a card of 💶 a different value from the rest of the pack (see e.g. Zwicker which has six Jokers with this function).

By contrast, 💶 a wild card is any card that may be used to represent another card or cards – it need not 💶 be a Joker.
