Queen cards of all four suits in the English pattern
The queen is a playing card with a picture of a Queen on it. In many European languages, the king and queen begin with the same letter so the latter is often called dame (lady) or variations thereof. In French playing cards, the usual rank of a queen is between the king and the jack. In tarot decks, it outranks the knight which in turn outranks the jack.
In several card games, including the middle eastern Trex and French Barbu, the queen is a major card to avoid taking, with each queen taken inflicting a penalty on the player. Similarly, in Hearts, the queen of spades is to be avoided, and is called a variety of unsavoury names.

Cultural references[edit]
Regarding the anonymous nursery rhyme, 'The Queen of Hearts' (published 1782), Katherine Elwes Thomas claims, in The Real Personage of Mother Goose, that the Queen of Hearts[clarification needed] was based on Elizabeth of Bohemia.[3] Benham, in his book Playing Cards: History of the Pack and Explanations of its Many Secrets, notes that French playing cards from the mid-17th century have Judith from the Hebrew Bible as the Queen of Hearts.[4] See also: Queen of Hearts (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland).

Standard seven card stud with Queens wild. Throughout the course of the deal, if a Queen is dealt face-up to a player, then the card that is dealt face-up after that Queen is called the “trailer” and it is also wild as well as Queens. These Queens and trailers are also wild in determining who has the best hand showing to open each betting round.
If in the course of the deal, another Queen is dealt face-up to a player, then the trailer that follows that more recent Queen is now the new trailer and the new wild card as well as Queens. The old trailer is no longer wild…in other words, other than Queens, there is only ever one other wild card. Queens and cards matching the current trailer are also wild if they are dealt face-down. Best hand wins.
If no Queen has been dealt face-up after every player has been dealt their four cards face-up, then everybody re-antes and the game is re-dealt until a Queen has been dealt face-up in a game.
It costs a small amount of money for players who are dealt a Queen face-up to stay in the game, and an even smaller amount of money for players dealt a trailer who want to stay in the game (for example, 50 cents for the Queen, 25 cents for the trailer).
