# CARD GAME: ONE player draws a card from the deck and the player with the highest card wins. 
#  this card game by defining classes representing a card, a deck, a player and finally the game itself.
# The suits are known as spades,hearts,diamond and clubs and the numbers as ranking wise
# The elements of the first two indexes of the value tuple are None, 
# so the strings in the tuple match the index they represent. So the string “2” in the tuple of values is at index 2.
# For example, you create a 2 of hearts by creating a Card object and passing it the parameters 2 (for color) and 1.
# The code for these magic methods can also handle whether the cards have the same value, 
#for example, if both cards have a value of 10. If this happens, the methods use the value of the combinations to break the tie
#The combinations are ranked in order of strength in the combination tuple – with the strongest combination last, and 
# thus assigned to the highest index, and the less powerful combination to the lowest index
