Descriptions of playing cards.
The suggested game is different of traditional card games but
essentially it is well-known playing cards having four suits and
sequential line of values. Suits are marked on playing cards with
colors in contours of traditional suits. Red - hearts, yellow -
diamonds, green - clubs, blue - spades. Values are marked with the
numbers from 1 to 8.
There are at the least two decks (packs) in the game and each of them
contains 32 playing cards. The difference between the decks is
presence/absence of dark circles, different kinds of shading at the back
and presence/absence of dark frames at the card face that allows two
players to play cards of own deck and distinguish from playing cards of
opponent. Besides it the playing cards are distinguished by means of
orienting arrows that point
to the opponent when they are on the game board.
Zero is added to the values of one of the decks that entails both the
identity and the difference between the values in different decks so to
say we can consider 1R in one deck and 10R in the other deck like equal or like
the playing cards which difference in values is tenfold.
Each deck is classified into proportional groups (16
playing cards
in each group) that is marked on the face and on the back of the playing card by crosses
i.e. two players can choose either two equivalent decks or two proportional
groups out of one deck and at that the chances of players to win are equal.
The distribution of playing cards into four proportional groups (8
playing cards in each) is marked by the points 1, 2, 3, 4 at the face of
one deck i.e. four
players can play cards of four proportional groups out of one deck and at that
the chances of players to win are equal.
Squares of game board have rectangular shape that is similar to the
shape of a playing card. The squares have the same suits and values like the
playing cards have.
The suits correlate with the vertical lines of squares and the values correlate
with the horizontal lines. Suits at the squares are marked by colors and the
values are marked at the edges of the game board be way of numerical notation at
that the game can be conducted along or across the game board, for that purpose
the squares has more thin line marking and have corresponding numerical
notation.
In general the rules of this card game are the following: players distribute the
playing cards according to the notation conventions represented on them
in such a way as to the playing cards of one player differ from those
ones of the another. Then they put the playing cards on the initial
positions and begin to manipulate them at the squares of the game board.
At that the chances of players to win are equal owing to the
proportional distribution of the playing cards and the player has full
information about the opponent's playing cards because of open
disposition on the game board.
The playing cards interact at the game board according to their suits and values
and depending on squares' values and suits. The playing cards are replaced or
shifted at the squares according to this or that variant of
rules. In all the
description represents 162 different games that can be more complicated but at
the same time very simple, and different number of players can take part in it.
The full set can contain three game boards and three playing card
decks and a set of jokers i.e. the card game can have minimal or maximal set where
the various game boards are realized and the playing card decks have various proportions.
