New games

I personally want to get away from the deck of cards system. Dice are ok, and I think if we are using a deck, maybe the deck of cards should be smaller and not look like playing cards. They could look more like they belong to a war game.

An app would be okay, but if the phone doesn't get the signal, then what? Maybe a simple program in a small case for the tabletop with 54 cards like a deck and two Jokers. It randomly shows the numbers but graphics are simple and nice, unlike standard playing cards. Okay, enough brainstorming on that.

Personally, I like the cards.  They can sit out of the way by the side of the gaming area and are easy to get hold of.

Yes, after posting, I thought about it and a smaller deck would work and even an electronic card deck. I'm posting the code and instructions to make it on a new thread.
