So, the #Decktet is a neat little thing. For those who are unfamiliar, its conceit is that it’s a deck of playing cards from a fantasy universe. It differs from our playing cards by having six suits, fewer ranks, and most importantly, two suits on every number card. I’ve had a deck for years, but have recently been checking out some games I’ve never tried before.
Something that’s always bugged me about the Decktet, however, is the designer chose to have some suit pairings show up more frequently and some not at all. It doesn’t often matter in play, because the suits are balanced across the deck and ranks as a whole, but it still makes my eye twitch.
Spent an hour of my night last night coming up with a scheme for an alternative deck that has every combination exactly twice (by the addition of six cards and some shuffling around).
I wish I could put this energy to something more useful, but I just kind of follow this dumb brain of mine where it wants to go
