Day 11 - Eight of Skulls 1. Unique card to the deck of sailors. 2. In standard decks, black pip cards represent the night. In the Deck of Sailors, white pips represent the night. 3. Skulls substitute for clubs. Nobody can agree on what the eight of clubs means in cartomancy.

Day 16 - The Joker 1. Made as the "Best Bower" for the game Euchre, it evolved into the wildcard we know today. 2. Being unsuited, it has no allegiance to other suits. 3. Its meaning overlaps with "The Fool" representing limitless potential, unpredictability, or new beginnings.
