    Solution

    Sentence B: "For over a thousand years, humans have been playing cards."

    This serves as a perfect introduction, setting the historical context.

    Sentence D: "Over time, playing cards have served a variety of purposes – from being a favourite royal pastime and a key game during festivities to being used as a political statement, as an educational, & even advertising tool."

    This logically follows B by elaborating on the roles and purposes of playing cards throughout history.

    Sentence C: "However, depending on the geographic region and time period they were produced in, card decks have differed greatly."

    This sentence adds depth, mentioning the variations in card decks based on region and era.

    Sentence A: "So, in many ways playing cards are a window into the world’s history and cultures."

    This concluding sentence ties all the ideas together, summarizing the historical, cultural, and diverse nature of playing cards.
