Maybe my powers of communication
are less than stellar. Folks seem to
find Hexadec a tad bewildering. You
may delve into it more in depth
below, and through links, but, put
simply, Hexadec is a deck of playing
cards, with which you may play your
favorite games, like solitaire, go
fish!, poker, even cribbage and
contract bridge. The only practical
difference is that Hexadec has six
face cards instead of three, and the
number cards start at zero and go to
nine, instead of ace to ten.
Everything else is cosmetic, which
is about 90% of the fun! It
should be noted that the face card
design is gender-neutral,
regarding which, there is no up nor
down.
Unfortunately, the faces are
mono-ethnic (mea cupla), but that
will be addressed in the beta
design.
Any questions? See below.

There will be a Hexadec
tournament, sometime.
How about this for a trophy (click on
the image to view full-size):
Hexadec is
a deck of playing cards design on a
computer theme – hexadecimal, or
base-sixteen. Like the traditional deck,
there are number and face cards, plus
ancillary cards that are unique
to Hexadec. Any card game that is played
on the traditional deck (and even some
that aren’t!) can be played on Hexadec.
I have
adapted games such as Go Fish!, Solitaire,
Poker, Blackjack, Hearts and even
Cribbage. A Life Master in Contract Bridge
created an adaptation for those who are
not of the faint of heart.
There is a great
deal of humor, in word play, use of
computer terminology and in graphics. And
the GQ (Geek Quotient) is absolutely off
the charts!
