Playing cards were invented by the Chinese before AD1000. They reached Europe around 1360, not directly from China but from the Mameluke empire of Egypt.
Playing cards first appeared in Europe in the 1370s, probably in Italy or Spain and certainly as imports or possessions of merchants from the Islamic Mamlūk dynasty centred in Egypt. Like their originals, the first European cards were hand-painted, making them luxury goods for the rich.
At the same time, they also don't depend on your mental abilities too much like a chess game. The reality is that card games usually maintain an outstanding balance between skill and chance, which is what makes them so appealing.
