 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review Hey today, we're gonna look at the deck six deck from James Robert Watson. Alright, so what is deck six? deck six is basically Your four traditional suits Plus two more. Okay, so you get six suits hence deck six. Alright, so you're gonna get your normal You know clubs hard spades diamonds, okay, and then you're gonna get two additional suits Which are cups and shields now cups and shields. They've been Standard suits in other more classical Decks from long since past but what James has done is kind of re-added them to the traditional cards And he's designed his own unique pips and the interesting thing about his two new Pip designs with the cups in the shields. He didn't just you know come up with something off It up of his head. He didn't just design something completely brand new what he did was he took the Existing suits that we currently have and he designed new suits from them. So like say the shields It's really like the inverted image of the hearts On the top and then the diamonds on the bottom tend to make a shield and then his cups image is really Two spade pips kind of melded together. So he wanted it to match He wanted it to blend in he to fit with the four existing suits that we currently have so that was unique And they also have them be distinctive from the other the shields Suit is an additional red suit and the cups suit is an additional black suit They're going to be easy to recognize. They'll be easy to remember once you see them As you can see the front of the tuck a says deck six that has a little fan of cards there It says deck six on the side and it also says that they're printed from SHP games The top says deck six the bottom has some ad copy and the back design Of course is the back design of the cards. This is a very big box. Okay, this is very big box This is not a small size box, but here's what you got to be thinking about this This is really a box for game play. All right, this is a box and cards for card games This is probably gonna go in your shelf or in your drawer with your other games You know like uno and you know old maid and things like that. Okay, so this is really a gaming deck Another thing to note about this card box and this is just me. Okay, this is just me It the cards have lots of space inside of here, so they do kind of rattle around It's not a tight fit. It seems make I don't know maybe the box and the deck come from two different companies I have no idea, but you do get a little bit of rattle in there There's some extra space. That's pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards The back design has a giant white poker border and then the back design is merely comprised of the six suits in Just a random order, so they just go up and down side-to-side And that pretty much is the back design of the cards again. This is a gaming deck Okay, this is a deck that you're gonna play poker, you know and things like that with and so that I believe is the best way That for you to think about this and really because you have six suits This is a deck of cards for more than just four players Okay, sometimes you there are card games that evolve more than four players and everyone needs their own suit Hence, this is why you would get a deck six A lot of people always ask how the cards feel how they handle the quality of the paper and put into all of that The best thing I can do for you is measure these with a caliper just to give you an idea of kind of how thick they are Maybe you'll see how they compare from one deck to another if I stick kind of these into a caliper My reading comes to 3.03. 3.03 is pretty thick Okay, 3.03 is on par with a casino grade stock. It's gonna be the same thickness as the mirage to Deck from legends or the white lions the black labels or the dynasty reds or the bright belly elites that were printed in China As far as the paper stock is concerned, there is a very faint linen embossing on them, but like I said, it's very faint It doesn't do a whole lot for the cards allowing them to glide So because the deck is so thick and the cards are so thick and then the surface area Is is so I'll say smooth the cards do tend to clump up a lot You don't get a nice even spread that you would from say nice is playing card company And part of the reason for that is just the printer. I think James Watson getting these printed from shp games I don't know how you know many card games. They produce. They probably just do card games not necessarily playing cards And so you're not gonna get the same quality Okay of playing cards that you might be familiar with but it's perfectly good for playing a game poker or bridge All right, so what are you gonna get with this deck? One of the things you're gonna get is you're gonna get three different jokers Okay, you're gonna get three different jokers two different colors and then one is a blended color So three jokers for six suits and then the other thing you're gonna get is you're gonna get six info cards That's right six ad cards. It's kind of a lot six ad cards and You know James says just you know chuck them before you start playing I don't know. Maybe it would have been cool to give us a couple of more jokers You know on a standard deck you get two so maybe with six suits Maybe I get four. I mean one ad card does tell you about you know what deck six is another ad card does tell you You know what the different poker hands are so that's helpful one ad card is just you know Credits for the people who helped design the deck one ad card is just decorative One ad card gives you a list of other games that you can buy and one ad card tells you a little bit more about FHP games the pips indices and court cards be pretty standard I think you'll recognize pretty much everything. There's nothing new to learn Okay, and while they might not be the pips indices and courts that you're typically familiar with they're perfectly fine for gameplay All right, so that is my review of the deck six Playing cards from James Robert Watson if you'd like more information about this I'll see the link below for you in the description But you can visit the game crafters comm or you can visit James Robert Watson comm as always I'm I thank James Watson for allowing me to have this deck so if I can do the review for you Thanks.
