I am having an incredibly difficult time understanding why int-or-string cards are desirable also. You'd end up with multiple functions like heartsGameCardValue and euchreGameCardValue but with int cards you need to write the same thing and without a type system to catch errors. If it was truly simpler to reason in terms of int, you could also do a cardIntegerRepresentation function and it would add very little length to the codebase.
