Decktet games
There are many games that can be played with the Decktet. Here are the rules for several.
The games here range from the thinking optional to the brain burning, from the frivolous to the deliberate. My current favourites are Quincunx, Emu ranchers, and Magnate, but you should form your own opinions.
I'm not trying to keep rules for every Decktet game here on this site. The Decktet wiki has a more complete list.
