Around 1480, French card makers adapted this sign into clubs in a French deck (known as clovers in France). In English, cards are referred to as in a French deck (e.g. the "10 of Acorns"), but in German as . Acorns are the highest suit in the games of Skat, Schafkopf and Doppelkopf, but the lowest in Préférence. In Watten, the 7 of Acorns (the ''Spitz'' or ''Soach'') is the third highest trump card. The standard German-suited system of leaves, acorns, hearts, and bells appears in the majority of cards from 1460 onwards. There is no evidence for this system prior to this point.
