A Jack, also Knave, is a playing card which, in traditional American and English decks, pictures a man in the traditional or historic aristocratic dress generally associated with Europe of the 16th or 17th century. The usual rank of a Jack, within its suit, plays as if it were an 11 . As the lowest face card, the Jack often represents a minimum standard — for example, many poker games require a minimum hand of a pair of Jacks in order to continue play.
