An analysis of the 'Galactic Aces' deck:
Assuming the minimum number of cards, the deck would contain 48 cards. Though I would imagine more then one deck is used. (This would account for the fact that it is possible to get more of the same card than would be in a single deck)
2 through 9: four of each in the deck
Jacks, Queens, Kings: three of each in the deck
Aces: 7 in the deck if 1's count as Aces. 3 if they don't.
Also with this system the deck does not have any tens.
Sorry, but I love math and logic puzzles. So when I seen this system, I had to do this.
Actually having more aces then usual would make sense considering the game is called Galactic Aces
