Hello to all poker lovers!
I recently learned that in 1937 the De La Rue Company introduced a fifth suit in a deck of cards. She was not very popular and was rejected by the poker community.
In 1938, Cinco-Loco decided to release a deck with image of pentagrams of different colors. Soon the production of such decks was discontinued, but now they are quite expensive and are considered collectible.
Do you know what is the most amazing thing?
In 2000, Fat Pack Cards released an 8-suit deck. Yes it's true. There were 8 of them. This is crazy.
Would you play this deck?

It would be interesting to try, but it is unlikely that this game would take root now

It will be difficult to immediately play with a deck of 8 suits. It takes time for skill and learning. I don't like the idea and won't play 8 suits. In short, not interested.

I'm interested!!
A table with 12 players to start with would be interesting.
Traditional poker is already perfect as it is.
But I am interested in new experiences. Imagine playing omaha?!
There would also be a lot of draws, just playing to know...

I'd wonder how the hand ranking would be?
Would we still get two cards and five on board? 🤔
With the 5 suits the flush beats the FH.
With 8 suits and same cards a Flush will be super strong maybe even beating 4 of a kind? 🤔😱

maybe it would be cool but only for fun. It will be so hard to play this type beacuse of many cards and calculating %chance will be harder.
