Playing Cards are the largest collectible category in 007 First Light: 36 items distributed across the campaign. The full set rewards the Silver trophy "Casino Royale." The cards use a German-suited deck rather than the familiar French suits: the four suits are Acorns, Bells, Roses, and Shields, and the ranks run from numbered pip cards (6 through 9) up through the Under, Ober, Banner, King, and Ace court cards. Examples found in the campaign include the 7 of Acorns, the Ober of Bells, the King of Shields, and the Ace of Roses.

Where Cards Appear
The Slovakia chapter (All the Time in the World) and the Mauritania chapter (The Past Never Dies) each contain four playing cards apiece, the highest single-chapter counts. Lighter cards appear in the prologue (one card in Against the Odds), and in the London nightclub (one card in A Night Out). The final five chapters distribute the remaining 25 cards.
How To Collect
Activate the Q-Lens in every interior space. Playing Cards appear as flat collectibles on tables, in drawers, on bartops, and pinned to wall arrangements. The Q-Lens highlight is visible through walls; rooms with multiple cards tend to cluster them in one corner.
Trophy
Collecting all 36 playing cards awards the Silver trophy "Casino Royale." The trophy unlocks the moment the 36th card is picked up, regardless of order.
