Vines (Postas Deck)
 |
Vines is a set of trick-taking games with a unique five-suited deck. The Postas¸ or "Pillars" deck is a forerunner of the modern Vines deck¸ featuring the numbers 1 through 10 in each suit¸ each with a different image¸ and an "E" for the elventh card (the Emperor).
The Postas Deck is best known as the deck for "Prima Carta¸" a game first played with just the ranks 1 through 10. The E is included so that this deck can also play the rest of the games in the Vines family.
Games with the Vines deck include several trick-taking games for 3 to 6 players¸ including cutthroat and team games¸ based on familiar mechanics from games like Hearts¸ Pitch¸ and Euchre¸ with an abundant assortment of clever innovations.
