A cleverly designed deck of cards can be turned into a chessboard

There is a simple deck of cards that can play thousands of games, but Rob Halifax has found a way to make 52 cards more versatile through a redesign, allowing you to play chess, checkers and even dominoes with the same set of cards Entertain you for hours with Solitaire.

Regarding the One Deck game card, the first thing you notice is that the traditional suits and numbers have been pushed to the four corners of the card. This makes room for other graphics and symbols in the middle, making them not only useful for poker. The domino has a small dot mark and a chess piece symbol centered on a red and black dot, which also allows the card to be used for games such as checkers and backgammon.

The second thing you will notice is that the One Deck card is no longer rectangular. Instead, they are cropped into perfect squares (although they remain the same width as ordinary cards), which allows them to be laid out in a perfect grid in games such as chess and checkers. The back of each card is designed in pure black, which can be used to fill the missing squares of the checkered game board you created. (The white square is just the remaining negative space.)

The four Joker cards of the deck provide instructions on how to arrange and use other cards for games where you don’t normally play decks, including measurements so you know how much area you need to clear on the table to accommodate each game . Backgammon can become a bit tricky unless you are willing to draw your own game board to use under the cards, but the deck also has three sets of six-sided dice, which can be shuffled endlessly and used to replace regular three-dimensional dice.

Halifax chose a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to help bring his unique One Deck design to gamers, with a funding goal of no more than $3,000. The event has far exceeded this point. Booking one of the decks requires a donation of approximately US$16 for the event, which is expected to be delivered sometime next April. However, the more decks you book, the cheaper the cost of each deck, and the more games you can play.

The common risks and warnings of crowdfunding products apply here, even if it is a game made only with printed paper, this is actually Halifax’s fourth Kickstarter product and their second product based on playing cards, so they have already cooperated with Printers have established good relationships and understand the risks and challenges that come with them. They also stated completely frankly that we are still in a pandemic and that the supply chain and transportation problems are getting worse. Therefore, please consider the delivery date as an ideal situation and be prepared for possible delays when you choose to support this Kickstarter.
