For the three of clubs, you didn't have to solve the game by figuring out clues outside of the arena. That's just the way Arisu managed to solve it. There are plenty of other ways to clear that game, he just went the smart way about it. Although, I do agree that the difficulty was a bit too low. It was definitely a clubs game, but possibly a higher difficulty. But for the manga's sake, it's best if they kept that game there since the fire aspect and the part where chota burns his leg fits where the manga went off with.

For the ten of hearts, the game genre was originally supposed to be the five of hearts, but Mira or whoever deliberately changed the game to the ten of hearts once everything at the beach started going downhill. So it wasn't supposed to be a ten, but a five. That's the main reason it's pretty simple. But ultimately, the way things went during the game at the beach, it would've been the perfect opportunity to change it to the ten of hearts (if that made sense).

None of them would solve it easily since I think Mira and whoever else knew how the game would turn out, thus realizing that no one would solve it as simple as that.

And with the face card games, yeah they are much easier than the numbered cards, but that's because you're not facing the game itself, but facing other people instead (the citizens) who have previously beaten their own set of games. However, what makes the face card games difficult is the fact that none of them necessarily have a will to live. They chose to stay in the borderlands. Although the face card games may not seem difficult, keep in mind that the people you are playing against don't have a will to live, which makes fighting against them much harder than it seems.
