The publisher encourages people to invent games that meld numbers, colors, symbols or other combination. Each card has six Types in a simple and functional face. These playing cards also have many melding opportunities and some of the best melds use addition or subtraction as the goal for collection.

Each tuck-box has rules for three original games ( http://www.gameyex.com/rules.html ) and comes complete with all the tools needed to author new games.

The quality of this deck is good and feels best after it has been worked a few times. Printed on 14pt German card stock with a glossy finish, it pleases both the eye and the mind.
