Gender-neutral playing cards with no King, Queen or Jack.
If only there was a way of not buying them!
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,256
Or buy any of it.

Oh no! What will happen to Chess?
Films?
The Gold and I
Songs?

Quote: Definitely Tarby @ 20th January 2021, 9:54 AMSaw that story on GMB and for once I agreed with Pierced Organ. It's an ugly design and bronze, silver and gold is boring. What about the jokers?
In these anti-royalist days perhaps the top 3 should be:
President, First-Consort, and President-Elect
Sounds like a fucgold stupid idea to me.
I should imagine that they will be 'Vanity' type that people who want them will have to pay well over the odds, But do I see someone in Vegas sweating over a full house of Oranges over Apples at 2 in the morning, I doubt it.
Whats wrong with kings, queens, and trans cards? In place of the jokers how about 4 cards depicting people who are crying with desperation at continual non-issues sprayed all over the media 24 hours a day. Aythangyew!
Ah but that would mean that the King is superior to the Queen and we can't have that can we.
Maybe it's an anti-Republican pack of playing cards?

Too true.
How about a game where nobody wins rendering the game a futile waste of time.
Perhaps we can also have an Olympics where everybody turns up and agree that we all had a jolly good time, gold medals all round.

Having new symbols for playing cards could be on to something though as it could make it have a wider appeal rather than just the games it's become known for such as home and casino games. It might not sound viable now but designations like oranges and apples could be used to name the suits. It would be like playing a fruit machine but with cards against a dealer or a group of friends with beer and nibbles.
I would never tamper with the deck that's become known and have no problem with jack, queen, king but with some thought I think there is potential with creating a new game.
And in the new games you now go up the snake and down the ladder.Snakes have feelings too,it's not good for them to be shown as the initiators of failure.Ladders don't mind.
Kate Garroway has a book coming out, all about her family's struggle with Covid. I wasn't expecting THAT.
