Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- Six Generations is a renewed deck of playing cards and historical images, created with a help of a science, called genealogy. Genealogy, combining the knowledge in history and genetic about our families and ancestors, helps us to answer many questions of the present and the past. This is one that kind of question. Why do all regular playing cards have King, Queen and Jack as the only costumed characters?
The answer is: the playing cards have been created seven centuries ago in Europe during the monarchy, and no other family members could join the Royal family as an equal party. That's why other cards in the deck became the boring numbers, from two to ten.
The evolution of society made all people equal. But we were playing the old monarchic cards, and didn't really have a choice to follow the history... until now. We are happy to introduce new, democratic deck of playing cards for all your gaming needs. This is real revolution in card games!
This pack consists of 72 cards representing people of six generations. There are couples from 20 countries of early 19th century Europe and five generations of American descendants (16, 8, 4, 2 and 2 cards), the last generation of which is a brother and sister living at the start of the 21st century.
With this new deck of cards, the game players and inventors may create hundreds new card games.
The standard playing cards have been on the market for 700 years. By making the cards representative of generic Kings and Queens, they have survived. Add to that the literally myriad games that are playable with them, and their utility is obvious.
Today, society has changed. Nobility is no longer genetic… it is in the individual character. To hold onto our heritage and history, the family genealogy of every ancestor is important. Thus, the new version of the playing cards, Six Generations, was designed. Six Generations cards became the ultimate deck for all nations, reflecting the reality of US history… we are a nation of immigrants.
Six Generations playing cards modeled after the structure of a family tree - a man and a woman, two sets of parents, four sets of grandparents, eight sets of great grandparents, and sixteen sets of great-great grandparents.
This democratic card deck abolishes the structure of the French Pack that uses Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces, and is based on the inventor's idea of creating a deck of family members in multiple generations. Each generation is doubled in the amount of family members, thereby making a deck of 64, which comes closest to the standard French Pack while being true to a balanced family tree.
The deck is ranking by not using numbers only, from one to six, but additionally, using matching costumes for family couples that are in the different suits. The oldest, sixth generation came to the United States from around Europe, while the different family members have particular names corresponding the country they came from, and the time periods.
The deck is supposed to be more entertaining than the standard French Pack, while still being playable at all of the standard casino table games. For players who are skeptical, seeing these cards in a casino is actually not such a long shot.
With Six Generations playing cards, the game players and inventors may create hundreds new card games, including the games playable with six-sided dice. The following card games have been already created: Six Generations, The Heirs, GenPoker, 23, Blind Date, Dynastia, and Meet Ancestors.
