Count your cards

In Thailand if you have more than 120 playing cards, you are violating the law and can be arrested. I should change 'can' to 'will' as the police recently arrested a number of bridge players because they broke a 1935 law, the Playing Cards Act, which prohibits individuals from possessing more than 120 playing cards. This law is seen as cracking down on corruption even though the players were simply playing for fun, not money. They were released on bail.
