The Decktet is an alternate deck of cards, most noted for its multi-suited cards. It's a bit like a standard playing card deck would be if there were a five that had both Clubs and Diamonds on it.

The standard Decktet has fantasy-world illustrations, but this is an alternate form of an already alternate thing. It has exactly the same structure of suits, ranks, and marks as a standard Decktet, but none of the pictures.

Maybe you want it because you don't like depictions of things. Maybe you want it because you like abstract shapes. Maybe you need a deck of cards that goes with your 20th-century modern architecture.

What people are saying the Decktet

The Decktet was deemed best card game in Games Magazine's 2013 Traditional Games 100: "The result is a plethora of innovative games that might lead keen card players to abandon the traditional 52-card deck."

Nate Straight writes: "Decktet... exists in a[n] other-worldly place, one that mixes Richard Scarry with Disney's Robin Hood with Tarot with Narnia with a million other weird and wonderful things." This exists in an other-wordly place, yes, but without any of that stuff!

Cyrus Kirby, Father Geek, calls it "an invaluable tool and an endless source of enjoyment."
