The Everdeck: A Universal Card System (2019)

In case no one's mentioned it yet, this reminds me of Heckadeck : https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/296334/heckadeck

I created my own multideck a few years ago: https://randomlyunique.com/random/2023/improved-multideck/in... (SVG in link)

I use this deck all the time too - it was well worth the $25 to print it out.

What is it about a good card game that is so appealing? I am not a fan of dice games at all, but give me some cards to hold, and I'm in.

I’d love to see a variation on the concept that minimizes information on each card. It would of course result in a larger deck, but would reduce visual noise while playing games.

I think one colored suit symbol and one rank is the most needed. Some cards could have symbols like Uno’s “skip” card as their rank.

I think my biggest complaint with this deck is that the Os and 0s look the same in the chosen font. They are in opposite corners on the card and one should always be colored and the other black, so shouldn't be easily confused in an oriented spread or in orienting the cards, so it is mostly just an aesthetic complaint.

Really cool deck! Anyone out there play Mu? It's an _excellent_ trick taking card game. One of the few (complex, trick-taking... I'm not counting stuff like Uno in this genre) card games that I know of that works really well with 5 or 6 players. This deck _almost_ would work for Mu, but it'd need different point values. (I keep having to rebuy new Mu games when the deck wears out so I've been contemplating other possibilities.)

I went down the rabbit hole of alternative games for this deck, and saw Mü mentioned in the forums with some tips alongside a table. Hopefully that helps, though I did notice someone commented about needing to remember the point values.

I'm currently looking for some board/card games to play with friends so thank you for mentioning Mu, it sounds fun!

Also I didn't know those were called trick-taking games [0]

		Pagat is a wonderful source for all things card games. https://www.pagat.com - in particular https://www.pagat.com/class/trick.html which at that level is the groups of games (under the trump group is the euchre group which itself has six games)

It is. I do. It is. My simple description of it is that its bridge with revealing cards for bidding and dynamic partnerships.

There is an iOS version of it - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/m%C3%BC/id351448383 (and it runs on my mini - https://imgur.com/a/eJsx4Wd )

And yea, the point values would be the problematic parts.

Incidentally, there's been a new issuing of the game: from the publisher - https://shop.czechgames.com/mu-more/ though it appears to be out of stock there, there is a reseller with the new version https://www.cardhaus.com/mu-more/

I'd also suggest Nyet ( https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1107/nyet ) which is another odd deck count game (3x1, 1x[2...13]) x 4 suits. It was originally a ruleset for the Mü deck where you excluded rules from the next round ("no - not that rule" -> "Nyet")

Are there any good svg free deck designs out there? Like the traditional looking ones?

Finally we have a deck that can support my new game Calvin Deck.

I have one. The cards are pretty well made and it's a nice deck. Decent playing cards do tend to be expensive.

Must be US-based, it’s $6.14 for the cheapest shopping for me

		And then for that shipping price, takes 4-6 weeks for delivery? Or you can have it 8 days for something like $130? I don't get it.

This looks complicated! The only card games I know are patience and Uno. Oh and top trumps, but not sure if that counts...

> The Everdeck is designed with a ruthless combinatorial efficiency. Beneath its minimalist pen-and-ink design lies layers of mathematical and linguistic patterns. This isn’t just a deck with haphazardly placed extra glyphs; rather, it aims to be both beautiful and practical.

This paragraph was designed as ruthless LLM slop.

		That paragraph was written in 2019 which predates LLM slop. Some people just write that way.
