It's been a while since I've posted a progress report on the Decktet. It's available in a print-and-play format, and I've also been selling decks for a while. I just released a companion book last weekend.
Pardon my shilling:
The Decktet Book book is your guide to a curious deck in six suits. It's over 130 pages, covering the deck's history, both genuine and arcane; its structure, detailed in numerous charts and tables; games that exploit the unique features of the deck; suggestions for reading and interpreting the cards.
The book combines text and rules that had previouly been available from disparate places with new material, presenting them together in a unified way. It includes over one hundred original and historical illustrations. The book is written by P.D. Magnus, the creator of the Decktet. It incorprates additional material by Ilya Farber, Felbrigg Herriot, Cristyn Magnus, and John Scharmen.
There are seventeen games included in the book: Ace Trump, Adaman, Bharg, Caravan, Chancellors, Chicane, Emu Ranchers, Goblin Market, Gongor Whist, Hermit, Jacynth, Magnate, Nonesuch, Oh Quay, Terrapin, Thricewise, and Varg Bid
The Decktet Book is available from Lulu in several versions: The standard version is $12.
A version printed outside the USA with wider margins is $15 - the production cost is somewhat higher, but the lower cost of shipping outside the US may be enough to offset the difference.
A PDF prepared for 2-up printing is $6.
Lulu prints it when you order it, but the result is a cleanly printed, perfect bound book. During the month of February you can get 10% off by using the coupon code WINTERBOOK
