This is a Russian Decktet, the same extraordinary artifact as any other Decktet but with all the card text in Russian.

The Decktet is the kind of tarot deck they use in the alternate universe where Charlemagne was a badger, if you can imagine such a thing. It is a deck of cards with suits, ranks, and named images. It is structurally unlike an ordinary pack of cards, meaning that you can do different things with it. There are literally dozens of original games that you can play only with the Decktet.

Why you want this

Maybe you are Russian and want a Decktet. That would be an easy answer.

Since it has the same symbols and numbers as an ordinary Decktet, however, you don't need to know any Russian to play games with it. It adds an extra layer of exoticism to an already mysterious and wonderful deck of cards.

What people are saying

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."

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

What's for sale

This is the complete 45-card extended Decktet with thclassic deck illustrations and Russian-language card names. Translation assistance was provided by Danila "MyOtheHedgeFox" Evstifeev.

Rules for dozens of games can be found at The Decktet Wiki (in several languages) and in The Decktet Book (in English).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
