README

This package contains resources that can in theory be used to build any traditional 52 deck card game.

It consists of:

• A migration to insert Cards, Ranks and Suits into a database
• Card constants with IDs mapped to the database rows to assist writing unit tests and logic
• A Dealer class based on the constants to shuffle and deal cards and hold a Deck array
