Jokerman (medium)
This is a variant of the link mazes (see Link Mazes). Start at the Ace of Spades in the top left corner, and move horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally) to another card with the same suit or number. For example, from the Ace of Spades you could move to the Ace of Hearts below it, or to the Three of Spades on the top row.
The Joker is special. When you land on the Joker it behaves like the previous card you were on. For example, if you jump from the Eight of Hearts to the Joker it behaves as if it were the Eight of Hearts.
Continue in this way until you can find a route to the King of Diamonds in the bottom right corner:
