A thrilling pile of cards that encourages creativity and critical thinking using mathematical
combinatorics, this deck is near-heaven. Truth be told, it is not for everyone. It would
however be the delight of card gamer who are intrigued by randomness, creativity and
spontaneity. Gamer who love to think outside the box and are bored of playing regular
traditional playing cards.
Mathematics remains a complex subject to many, a subject that preys on the grey matter of
the brain or so it seems. However, it is very important in nearly all spheres of life, as it
stimulates a higher level of creativity. We aim to make this subject truly amazing to people
from all works of life through our deck of cards. Our playing cards are centered around
numbers related by different operators, some more complex than others. Asides being skilled
in playing conventional cards, players also need to compute numbers on their cards at
lightning speed. This and predicting the cards held by your opponents’ makes the card game
all but boring.
3. Different Levels of decks
There will be five levels to the deck of cards. Each level is distinct from the others by the
complexity level of the operator used to link the numbers.
Level One Deck
The first level makes use of basic operators like division, multiplication, subtraction and
addition symbols. The first level nicknamed ‘add 4, 4 and get ate’ is the simplest of the
levels. At the center of each of these cards is a unique merger design of two hearts. Using
operators on the edges of the cards, players can calculate the value or rank of the cards.
Level Two Deck
4. The second level of cards features two operators. It is more complex than the first level and
would need some extra computation. An example of the value on cards at this level is ‘6/(2-
1)’. This level tagged ‘Two-way tables comprises of the diamonds.
Level Three Deck
5. The third level (The magic number three) makes use of a trickier combination of operators.
It makes use of three operators to give the card a value or rank. An example of the value of a
card in this rank is (9/3) + (4-5)
Level Four Deck
6. The fourth level known as ‘Quadrilateral damage’ makes use of three groups of numbers
and the same number of operators. An example of the value of a card at this level is ( (7 x 5)
– (6 x 4) – 9).
7. The fifth level of cards is the trickiest of all the levels. It combines five operators and three
groups of numbers to give the rank of the card. To play at this level, players need to maintain
a high level of awareness and coordination. For card gamer who love to play with numbers,
this is the juiciest of all the aforementioned levels. It has a unique name given to it as well –
‘Along came pentagon’

8. Quality: Our cards are light and durable. Hence, they do not get torn easily when subjected
to a lot of rigors. The materials used for its production are a perfect blend of quality and
durability.
9. Card value: This is one characteristic that puts our cards ahead of its closest competitors by
miles. Other than going down the route of the old, boring traditional cards or that of custom
cards that adopt funky pictures for background, we’ve opted for a more intentional style. We
twitched the value of the cards instead of using mathematical computations. This not only
erases the boredom associated with traditional cards but replaces it completely with
something more entertaining. This style resonates well with players who are looking to
challenge their minds more than usual.
10. Designaspects: We made use of a minimalist design featuring mostly colors of perfect hues
and gradients. Our cards are highlighted by creative combinations of secondary colors –
purple and pink. They are also marked by a creative blend of two-character encoding (shapes,
hearts and diamonds) at the center of the cards.
11. Benefits
Our deck of cards sparks another level of mental creativity. Because of the sums players have
to solve to find the value of their cards, their memory power is improved. The cards also
bring about a breath of fresh air, away from the monotonous and boring style of traditional
cards.
12. Perhaps, the most important highlight of this deck is that it betters the concentration skills of
card gamer. Throughout the game, players are forced to commit their minds and hearts. This
inadvertently helps to increase the number of hours they can concentrate on a cause. It’s no
doubt a fun and less-tasking way of developing one’s concentration skills.
Risks and challenges
