decktet playing card system

Decktet is a set of playing cards/game system that is like standard playing cards mixed with tarot cards. It is important to note that the cards are organized much differently than standard playing cards.

There are a total of 36 cards in the standard deck. There are six suits: suns, moons, wyrms, knots, leaves, and waves. There are 10 ranks of cards in the standard deck: ace, 2-9, and crown. There are 6 aces (one for each suit), 6 crowns (one for each suit), and 3 of every other rank (2 suits for each card).

There are 9 extra cards: a "joker' card with no suit as well as pawns and courts (each with 3 suits).

Each card (except for aces) has a unique, tarot-esque picture and name depicting a character, place, or event.

The mod includes the standard deck in order from ace to crown, the extra cards off to the side, and tokens which may or may not be needed according to the game you play.

Because this is a system, I can't link to a specific set of rules. But, a large number of game variations and rules can be found on the wiki:
