Hearts is one of the four suits found in the "international" deck of playing cards. The standard "international" deck uses the French suit system.

In bridge, it ranks second highest of the four suits, below Spades, but above Diamonds. In some card games of Germanic origin such as Skat or Sheepshead, the suits rank: clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds. It is typically associated with love or romance.^{[clarification needed]}^{[citation needed]}

The symbol was first used on French playing cards, made in Rouen and Lyon in the 15th Century, around the time that playing cards were first mass-produced by the use of woodcuts.
