A figurehead card, also known as a picard or a Beau Belle card, is a type of card in playing card games which depicts a person, instead of depicting a simple number. These people are different depending on where the cards are from, however the people follow a simple rule, in that there is a vizier card, a queen card, a king card, and an ace card, with the queen and king being female and male respectively, and the vizier and ace being of either gender. In the United States of Quentin for example, the vizier card is called Sir Wagner, originally after GTNEC Max Wagner but also after President David Wagner, the queen card is called Lady Sophie after Supreme Decider Sophie Verrecchia, the king card depicts Kindy Bost-Jameson, founder of the country, and the ace card depicts a nameless gangster from the Chip Area. In other countries around the world, these figures are different. Figurehead is popular internationally, while picard is most often used in the USQ, Ravensonia, Carkhia, and Xevenia, among others. The term Beau Belle card is used most in Allia, Bymaria, Carkhia, and other former Allian Empire countries, and means "beautiful woman," after the queen who was originally on all figurehead cards.
