Medieval Europe was known to engage in trade fairs throughout the late 1300's -1400s AD.

The Mamluk Sultanate would primarily be based in modern Egypt and would take some of the lands ancient traditions for itself.

These early decks consisted of four suit cards consisting of Sticks, swords, cups and coins.
