Inspired by the 50 States, American Playing Cards is a complete redesign of the standard deck. Five suits. Three colors. No face cards. It strips away convention and replaces it with a system built for original play; balanced, symmetrical, and designed from the ground up to support games that could not exist with a standard deck.
Three things that set it apart:
A third color: Beyond red and blue, a fifth black suit shifts the balance of power and opens strategic possibilities unavailable in any traditional deck.
The Cypher: This card represents both a 0 and a 10 and turns the card row into a circle.
A living game system: New games are invented monthly by a growing community of players and Simon Allmer Entertainment. The deck is the foundation. The games keep coming.
Featured Games:
Frontier — A betting game for 2 to 6 players across 5 rounds. Each round, players take turns calling, raising, or folding. The strongest hand takes the pot. Hands carry over between rounds — played cards are discarded, unplayed cards are kept, and you draw back up to capacity. The deck's color alliances and the Cypher open hand combinations that no standard deck allows. Most cash after round five wins.
Duel — An elimination game for 2 to 6 players. Each player starts with 5 cards. On your turn, challenge any player who hasn't fought this round — they cannot refuse. Both secretly select a card. The Influence Card sitting at the center of the table boosts matching colors, shifting power at every turn. Ties trigger a Standoff: both players commit a second card immediately, and the loser loses both. The last player with cards in hand wins.
