pack of cards

Fifty-two card set

A pack of cards is a complete set of playing cards—typically 52 cards in four suits, sometimes with jokers.

The term is more common in British English; Americans usually say deck of cards.

Figuratively, a house of cards or something that collapses like a pack of cards is fragile and easily destroyed.
