I actually own this, but I find that, in practice, remembering the mappings is tricky for most players. Also, it's surprisingly annoying to not have rotationally symmetric cards, or needing to hold the cards in a different way.

I would love to own this deck but I can tell I would be way too irritated when trying to actually use it. It's like an art piece dedicated to combinatorics.

In my multideck I mitigated this by using emojis as suits, so you can write notes on your phone. For the Everdeck you can use: ♣♠♥♦ coin, crown, moon, star (hacker news doesn't support emojis)

The emojis do show up on iOS Safari!

Those card suits in that post show up (for everyone) in HN because they are the proto-emoji ancient "Wingdings range" further encoded in the direction of HN without an emoji presentation variation selector. (Emoji presentation selector will color them, so hearts and diamonds would be more red, among other subtle distinctions in most fonts/OSes today.)

The number of "proto-emoji" that HN does not block is interesting given HN's preference to block emoji, but also illustrates some of the fun compatibility complexity of Unicode.

Yeah :c I feel the same way. They’ve made a variant with more traditional poker deck look but the same rank/suits of the ever deck that I’m excited to try one day
