These cards are primarily designed for the 4 rummy games in the booklet called 10,000 Rummy: Sublime Rummy by Jim Davidson in which 52 or 104 cards are used. In this card deck, princesses replace jacks, and Mother Natures are added instead of jokers. Mother Natures don't have indexes since they are primarily designed as replacement cards in case any other cards get damaged or lost. For the aces, the single suits in the middle of the cards are fairly large since they are primarily designed for the 4 rummy games mentioned earlier where aces are almost always worth a lot of points. The author says: "with the 3rd and 4th games it looks really beautiful when there are a lot of cards melded all over a carpet or table". |

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
