Add ASCII-art as a placeholder for the cards in hand instead of numbers for a prettier experience.

I started on this but didn't know how I'd solve the counting part

I could change the cards_values list to unique values such as H2, H3 etc and grab that index and input that index into a print statement that prints the corresponding ASCII-card. However this means there is no value to count the total with. How do I assign a value to either the ASCII art or the H2, H3, H4 etc?

I received a suggestion to remove the letter from H2, H3 by using .remove[0] leaving just the value. For J D (Queen) K A, I would make a dictionary storing the letters and values as key:value pairs. Calling these values when counting made my head spin so I gave up for now. Will return to this in the future if a simpler solution presents itself.
