Six Generations is a renewed deck of multicultural playing cards, created with a help of a science, called genealogy. Genealogy, combining the knowledge in history and genetic about our families and ancestors, helps us to answer many questions of the present and the past. This is one that kind of question. Why do all regular playing cards have King, Queen and Jack as the only costumed characters? The answer is: the playing cards have been created seven centuries ago in Europe during the monarchy, and no other family members could join the Royal family as an equal party. That's why other cards in the deck became the boring numbers, from two to ten. The evolution of society made all people equal. But we were playing the old monarchic cards, and didn't really have a choice to follow the history... until now. We are happy to introduce new, democratic deck of playing cards for all your gaming needs. This is real revolution in card games!
This pack consists of 72 cards representing people of six generations. There are couples from 20 countries of early 19th century Europe and five generations of American descendants (16, 8, 4, 2 and 2 cards), the last generation of which is a brother and sister living at the start of the 21st century. With this new deck of cards, the game players and inventors may create hundreds new card games.
