Games with unique deck, dice or image

Abstract

A deck of cards/dice, real or simulated, characterized by a Master Joker, colored jokers, card suits and null cards. These suits are of any two, three, four or more fundamental colors, two or more suits of each color per joker under a designated Master Joker with an optional methodology to capture cards from opponents. Depending on the game, null cards can have very dramatic influence. The preferred form of this present invention is a deck of playing cards and related family of card games. Peg boards may be used to tally scores. Card backs are usually uniform. This deck has the “look and feel” of a traditional deck with more challenging and exciting options. For example, during the play, players may demand an opponent “Toss” (forfeit) a trick, then that opponent may “DoubleCross” and repossess the original cards plus additional cards. These decks and family of games are known as Toss.
