That sounds awesome. Anyone know where I might get such a deck?

I've come across the Parker Brothers version (look in the gallery) at thrift stores (charity shops for you Commonwealth FA:Tties) in the past; I've always passed on them thinking it was just another version of Rook or Flinch (and it just looks like a regular old deck of cards if you're not paying attention to the fact that the suit is printed on the card backs). However, now that I actually know something about it, I'll start picking them up (they're rarely priced above $1 or so). I'll ask a few local thrifters as well as the Portland-area Thrifterati (the thrift stores in the Portland area seem to be more well stocked with "these games of ours" than at least 1 of my actual local game shops). I'm sure someone's got one they'd be happy to send along for really cheap.

Yeah I saw the BGG listing, I've already tried to contact people that have it listed for trade. If you find an extra one I'd be happy to buy it from you. Thrift stores around here are pretty shot.

It's known as a French suited deck.I'm referring to the normal deck usually seen here in the US, with hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades...I don't know the proper name for this deck.
