- the playing card set is assigned a playing card set ID by which the playing card set is distinguishable from other playing card sets;
- each of the playing cards of the playing card set is assigned and has printed thereon an on-card printed ID that is different than each on-card printed ID that is assigned to any playing card of the other playing card sets;
- and
- the on-card printed ID of the playing cards of the playing card set and the playing card set ID of the playing card set are associated with each other in a database so that, for each of the playing cards of the playing card set, the playing card set is uniquely identifiable from the on-card printed ID to thereby determine that the respective card belongs to the playing card set.
A method comprising:
- producing a plurality of decks of playing cards;
- packaging one or more of the plurality of decks of playing cards as a playing card set;
- printing on each of the playing cards of the playing card set any of one or more on-card printed IDs that are assigned to the playing cards of the playing card set and that are each different than each on-card printed ID that is assigned to playing cards of other playing card sets;
- assigning to the playing card set a playing card set ID by which the playing card set is distinguishable from each of the other playing card sets;
