The Rainbow Deck is a cardgame system that has a total of 162 cards. There are 12 suits with each suit having 13 ranks, and 6 Joker cards. The suits are represented by both colour and number. The ranks are from 0 to 9, J to K. The cards also numbered from 0 to 119, and have letters from A to Z.
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, numbers from 0 to 119 as well as alphabet letters, 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. Players can also combine the deck with other boardgames with components having colours, numbers or letters to from new games!
The deck can be complemented by 6 colours x 27 chips and 6 coloured dice. This allows playing of cardgames that require chips or dice. Also, the cardbacks have a 2x3 checkerboard pattern and they can be used to form boards which, together with the chips, can be used to play a variety of abstract games.
