Games

The main reason I created this deck was for the games — so these are some of the games that influenced the design of this deck, and information about how the cards are used to play them.

4 suit card games

As the deck contains the standard 4 suit system, all of the “normal” (in lack of better words) card games are possible with this deck. The deck contains ace, 2 to 10, jack, queen and king of every suit, as well as two jokers.

6 suit card games

The 6 suits are displayed in the same way as the 4 suits. The numbers 1 to 9 are presented in colored circles at the corners of the card. There are 6 different colors.

My main idea was to use this suit for Schotten Totten as it is a game that I greatly enjoy. Unfortunately, the tactic cards aren’t included, but the main game is still highly playable with this deck.

Another game I had in mind was two player Arboretum. This variant only requires 6 suits (more players require 8 or 10 suits) with 8 ranks. By removing the 9th card in each suit you could easily play this fun game.

There are many more games that could be played with 6 suits — these two are just my particular favorites.

Card number games

Some games require numbered cards — which is why I choose to include it in this deck. The number is is clearly presented in the center of the card in a bold style. To be fair this wasn’t the most important part for me, but I included it to be able to play games like No Thanks.

Role games

This is probably the main reason why I created this deck. I love these kind of games, so I wanted them neatly packed in a simple card deck. The role is presented above the card number — unmirrored. The deck contains three of my favorite role games:

Coup

Love Letter

One Night Ulitmate Werewolf

Coup

There are two parts of the deck that are used for the game Coup. First of all, the actual role, which is presented in text. In the example above it is the Captain.

Another big part is the color of the 6 suit circle — it matches the card color of the original game. This makes it possible to only peek at the top of the card without having to lift it up while playing, at least if you are familiar with the colors. The colors are as follows:

Captain — blue

— blue Duke — purple

— purple Assassin — black

— black Ambassador — green

— green Contessa — red

— red Inquisitor — yellow (yes, the inquisitor is included)

Three cards of every role is presented in the deck.

Love letter

Love letter is a great, small game. It’s super easy to learn, while still has just the right amount of deduction elements to make it fun. All 16 characters are available in the deck.

Besides having the role displayed in text, every card has their correct value presented in the colored circles. Meaning that, for example, the prince (which has the value 5 in the original game), has the value 5 in the deck. This applies to all characters in Love Letter.

One Night Ultimate Werewolf

Another great social game. All 16 original roles are available in the deck. The role is the only part of the card that is used in this game.
