Jamaican trivia playing cards

This playful and colourful pack of 54 cards has four non-standard suits, each of which represents a different topic or aspect of Jamaica: the Ackee fruit suit represents culture and customs; the Coat of Arms suit represents people; the Hummingbird suit represents music; and the Jamaican map suit represents geography. Each card poses a trivia question (and answer) relating to the subject represented by the suit. The court cards are the same in each suit (though each suit has a different colour background), with the Kings portraying Marcus Garvey (1), the queen showing Nanny of the Maroons (2), and the Jacks showing Paul Bogle (3). The two Jokers are called “Jonkanoo” (4).

The pack was created by Emprezz Mullings and produced by the Jamaican Playing Cards & Co., Kingston, Jamaica. See the box►
