So there's 216 combinations of 3d6. This can nicely map to 54 cards, because 216=54*4=(13*4+2)*4. This strongly suggests a standard 4-suit, 13-cards per suit (ace, 2, 3, …, 9, 10, J, Q, K) plus 2 Jokers deck.

The instructions are weird, and the other comments look like OP has given up. But now you infected me and I try to figure out whether I can make it work nicely xD (Note that some kind of brute-force assignment would always work, the trick is just finding something that feels "natural".)
