forgot counting.....well its 52
if you mean how many cards are in a pack of cards its 52.
26
A standard deck of cards (not counting jokers) has 52 cards. Half (clubs and spades) are black. That's 26 cards.
There are 12 'picture' cards in a standard deck of playing cards. A Jack, Queen and King of each of the four suits. Including Aces, however, the total would be 16 'face' cards.
