Description

If you are interested in filler games, or portable boardgames to bring along on travel trips, then the Rainbow Deck is for you!

The Rainbow Deck 3.0 is a cardgame system that has a total of 162 cards. There are 12 suits with each suit having 13 ranks, and total 6 Joker cards. The suits are represented by colour and digit. The ranks are from 0 to 9, J to K. The cards are also numbered from 0 to 119, and have alphabet letters.

The deck can be adapted to play a variety of games, just like a deck of Poker cards. The difference is that Rainbow deck has 8 more suits and also numbers from 0 to 119, thus it is most suitable for playing abstract games that require numbers, colours or letters. It can also be used by game designers as components in their own prototype games.

See this excel sheet which contains the rules of the games that RD can be used to play (RD Mapped Games | Rainbow Deck | BoardGameGeek [boardgamegeek.com]).

This Rainbow Deck Accessories package ONLY contains 6 colours x 27 mini poker chips (7/8 inch/22 mm diameter), 6 coloured dice and 6 meeples. Writing corresponding values on one side of each chip enables more games to be mapped.The card back has a checkerboard pattern which can be used to form boards and together with the chips, they can be used to play abstract games.

The rules of the 3 games that won the 1st Rainbow Deck Game Design contest are available for download as pdf. The games are Duel of Law (1st), Snark (2nd) and Taargus (3rd).

More information can be found at BGG (Rainbow Deck | Board Game | BoardGameGeek [boardgamegeek.com]).

NOTE: The Action Shots show the Rainbow Deck SuperDeluxe package. The components depicted differ slightly from the Gamecrafter package. The chips containers and tuckbox are not in the Gamecrafter package. Instead, 2 paper tuckboxes (90 cards each) are included.
