** The Queen of Spades, popularly representing [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Pallas Athena]]. In the game Hearts, she is considered unlucky; whoever gets the Queen of Spades gains 13 points to their detriment [[note]]Points are bad in Hearts. Unless a player obtains her with all 13 hearts, in which case he shoots the moon and everyone else gains 26 points[[/note]]. She is the titular OldMaid in the game Old Maid. TarotMotifs have her as an [[TheStrategist intelligent, tactical woman]], befitting the goddess she was supposed to represent.
