Looks Great!
 I did similar a few years back, but the cards where more Bicycle Style. It was
wrote in c++ for my WinXP.(Have Win10 now) I put 3 different games together in
one program (which I still play today.) Strange but not one of those games are
in the style you did. It goes In the Games folder:)
 I downloaded the zip. It played Good after Win10 complained about opening it.
It maybe coincidence but FireFox locked up after I was done. I left it running
while playing. It maybe Win10 is mad at me for ignoring it.

Have Fun!
