Discipline playing cards

Memorise playing cards

It is the same procedure we already used for the discipline numbers: We have to transform each single card into a picture.
In this case it is helpful to divide the four "colours" in categories.

Colour	Category	Explanation
Karo	Circus	a rhomb on the clown's costume
Herz	human being	every human being has a heart
Pik	Nature	spades is similar to a leafe.
Kreuz	church and court	the cross is the symbol of the church

Now the numbers of the cards have to be transformed into images. Here is one example: in a circus, 8 is similar to beanbag (8 of Diamonds), for human beings,, 8 is similar to a pair of glasses (8 of Hearts), in nature it is similar to a snowman (8 of Spades) and at the court, 8 is similar to handcuffs (8 of Clubs). The Court cards (knave, queen, king) are considered as persons. The knave is always very young and kittenish, the queen is a woman and the king is a man.

This is my proposal for the card system. During training, you will see these pictures if you place a hook at "assistance". This is very helpful at the beginning! Step by step you can create your own system under "My memocamp".

	Ass	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	Bube	Dame	König
diamond	Tent	Keystone	Curtains	Chair	Unicycle	Lasso	Whip	Juggling Balls	Balloon	Drum	Clown	Tightrope walker	Ringmaster
heart	Hat	Ear	Breast	Nose	Hand	Sex	Poor	Glasses	big belly	Bed	Baby	Nurse	Doctor
spade	fir tree	Swan	Snail	Stork	Turtle	Snake	Giraffe	Snowman	Elephant	Flower	Monkey	Goat	Leo
club	Steeple	Bell	Key	Pickaxe	Pebbles	Monk	Pistol	Handcuffs	Death	Bible	Thief	Nun	Judge

When it comes to the memorisation procedure, you need a "journey" and the card images. Note: The journey is always in the same order and the images of the cards always have the same meaning! The first card is located on the first journey point.

Here is an example:
We need our "Samplehousejourney" for the memorisation process. The first journey point is stove. If the first card is 6 of Spades, we link the snake to the stove.Now we have to make a little story out of it. The snake lives on the stove. It is always very cold and therefore the stove must be on medium temperature. If the temperature is too high, our snake starts sizzling. So you have to be careful with the temperature.

Memorise playing cards: Playing cards sprint

Hier geht es darum, sich ein gemischtes 52 Blatt Kartenspiel (Poker, Rommé, Canasta) so schnell wie möglich einzuprägen. Bei dem Kartensprint gibt es 5 Minuten als Zeitvorgabe, wenn du unter 5 Minuten fertig bist wird die Zeit gestoppt. Zur Wiedergabe bekommst du ein zweites Spiel was in die gleiche Reihenfolge des gemerkten gebracht werden soll. Dazu hast du 5 Minuten. Um die Sache für den Anfang zu erleichtern, gibt es je nach Trainingsstand verschiedene Level. Es geht los mit 3 Spielkarten und steigert sich dann bis auf 52 Karten, dann verringert sich die Zeitvorgabe. Eine genaue Einteilung findest du weiter unten.

Die Bewertung folgt nach Wettkampfregeln, das heißt, es wird bis zum ersten Fehler gewertet. Wenn du 30 Spielkarten gemerkt hast aber bei der 12 ein Fehler ist dann werden 11 richtige Karten gewertet. Wenn ein Fehler im Spiel ist wir die Einprägezeit auf 5 Minuten hochgesetzt, auch wenn du nur 2 Minuten gebraucht hast.

For the advanced levels and championship participants, there are also the following disciplines: Memorising cards for 10, 30 and 60 minutes. This disciplines are part of the German Memory Championship and the World Memory Championship.

These are the different levels:
