Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2347088A] A pack of cards has differing designs on the backs of the cards, as well as differing designs on the front faces of the cards; the designs can be coordinated to enable a different set of cards to be formed according to the markings on the rear faces of the cards. The cards may have conventional ace to king markings on their obverse faces, and a series of short lines of text on their reverse faces such that when a three or four card trick of a conventional game, eg bridge, is formed, a sentence or poem may be formed by the rear faces. With pictorial images on the backs of the cards, comic strips, commercial adverts, or other patterns or sequences can be made. Extra points for a trick may be awarded if the cards also make a set with the rear faces, or for the number of sets made with the rear faces, according to the rules of the game. The rear face of the cards may have only a portion which differs from the rest, eg identical outer portions and different central areas. The poems may be clerihews or haiku.
