The Everdeck
The Everdeck is a card game system that can be adapted to play many traditional and modern games. It's a portable travel companion¸ universal proxy deck¸ and game designer's prototyping tool all in one. This isn't ju st a deck with extra ranks and suits. Its 120 cards can map to many distinct game systems: Two copies of a standard 52-card deck Two other traditional decks: Tarot and Hanafuda Up to 12 suits or up to 25 ranks ( Lost Cities ¸ Coloretto ¸ Arboretum ) Multiple or uneven counts of certain ranks ( Hanabi ¸ Pairs ) Sequential decks ( The Mind ¸ 6 Nimmt ) Word games ( Letter Jam ) Social games ( Ultimate Werewolf ) The Everdeck is designed with a ruthless combinatoral 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. The included free PDF describes all the Everdeck's systems in detail¸ including a list of example game mappings. More information can be found on Boardgamegeek.
