In card games, the ace of clubs, or sometimes used to refer to the playing card or a related game piece.
From Spanish basto (club suit in Spanish cards), which comes from Latin bastum. In Spanish card decks, clubs are called bastos, making basto the ace or trump card in certain games.
Spanish playing cards use a completely different symbol system than French cards—bastos (clubs) are actually batons or cudgels, showing how card games preserved medieval imagery in their suits.
