Description

This is an extended deck of cards, with the usual red and black suits plus two more blue ones.

There is a long history of six-suited card decks. In 1895, Hiram Jones added Bullets and Crosses. Other designers have added Rackets and Wheels, Crowns and Anchors, or Valentines and Kites. The Blue Sea Deck stands in that long tradition.

Here the fifth and sixth suits are the blue suits of Stars and Squids. You can use the deck for playing Bridge with six, for making the odds in Poker go haywire, or for tossing card by card into a top hat.

The deck consists of six 13 card suits, 3 jokers, and a few information cards. It does not include rules or an actual squid.

the only problem I had with it was the deck box was the wrong size and the cards weren't linen finished but it's a damned nice set for sure

This is a very well-made 6-suit deck. The cards are easily to read and distinguish, and pleasant on the eyes. It opens up all sorts of cool possibilities, if you like to play any sort of card game. ...

Don't own it but I'm appalled that an apparent troll is down rating what looks to be perfectly acceptable games.
