You have to create a deck of cards, and you need an amount of them (number), a category (suit), and maybe special tokens (e.g: Joker card). What would you make it of?
You can also share existing ones that you find interesting from other countries, like for example, the "usual" one in the US (I believe) is the French with spades, diamonds, clovers and hearts, but somewhere else they might use something different. If you feel like another total quantity is better for X game (like instead of having 40 or 52 cards, maybe 60/whatever), feel free to say.
Each suit doesn't have to be comprised by all/mostly of digits (like 1, 2, 3, 4... of spades), maybe one could be made of more creative figures (like King, Queen, Jack, or I don't know, Lich, Sorcerer, Witch, etc). Since all can be effectively substituted by a numeric value, this is mostly aesthetic, but it can also spark ideas in order to create a new game.
Can also be a Tarot style deck, so instead of (devil, magician, tower, star, justice, empress, etc) you can find another elements, motifs, or whatever you think that's good, (there is already another thread about lolcow cards by the way).
My idea for example could be to make one out of the seven deadly sins, so 7 suits already that have potential to have their own effects in a game.
This is mostly for inspiration.
