number cards

Aces through tens

Number cards are playing cards that display a numerical value rather than a face or picture.

In a standard deck, these are the cards numbered two through ten in each suit, as distinguished from face cards (jack, queen, king) and aces.

In blackjack and similar games, number cards are worth their face value: I was dealt two number cards totaling fifteen.
