Decktet

HOME

The Decktet is a fabulous thing from another world, a six-suited deck of cards that can be used to play dozens of different games.

The Decktet was named Card Game of the Year in Games Magazine's 2013 Buyer's Guide issue.

If you just got a copy of the deck and came here to learn what you could do with it, I recommend jumping in and playing a game. If you want different information, here are some links.

"Appears clever, is in fact clever. It is a curiously odd little deck that plays curiously odd little games and there's a lot to like about such a curiously odd and even whimsical little game system." J C Lawrence
