Several ideas:
(1) A - K of hearts => 1-13, A - K of diamonds = 101-113, A-K of clubs = 201-213, and A-K of spades = 301-313.
(2) A - K of hearts = 1-13. A - K of diamonds = 14-26, etc.
There are lots of ways to represent the cards. Using #1 above, you can obtain the "sequence number" (A=1, 2-2, ..., K=13) by using "sequence = card % 100. That will return a value of 1-13 for any card type. For suit, "suit = card / 100" which will return a value of 0, 1, 2 or 3 for the four suits of the cards. For color (since you have to alternate colors for part of the game) "color = card / 200, which will return 0 for hearts/diamonds and 1 for clubs/spades.
The only issue is to choose the encoding such that you can obtain the sequence #, the suit, and the color, as easily as possible.

If you think it is "small and qucik" it means you even didn't start yet (nor I think you will do in the future).
