ABOUT THE DECK
Not Just A Card Game
A 52-Card Deck Alternative
A traditional 52-card deck is more than a single game—it is a system. The same deck can be used to play Poker, Rummy, Crazy Eights, Golf, Hearts, Spades, and countless other games.
The Deck includes 76 cards: Number Cards, Red and Blue Runes, Kings, Swap Runes, and a bit of Energy and Chaos. Together, they create possibilities beyond what is possible with a traditional 52-card deck.
Multiple Game Modes
The same physical cards support a growing library of games instead of belonging to only one set of rules.
Each game mode has its own pace, style, level of interaction, playtime, and player count. Whatever the mood or group, there is always a game to play.
The Dice
& The Double-Deck
Most game modes use a single Deck, but a few newer games require two copies of The Deck combined into a Double Deck.
The custom Cambio Dice are also used in select game modes. When needed, they can be replaced with two standard six-sided dice.
The Pop-Up Joker 🃏
The Deck is not one card game. It’s a 76-card system built around an ever-growing library of game modes—so the same deck can lead to completely different kinds of game nights.
