Obtuse Suits
Obtuse Suits are a series of booster packs with 15 cards. The majority of the booster pack contains 14 cards that are similar to a traditional suit of U.S. playing cards. (Ace, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,Jack,Queen,King,Joker.) The common things that each booster pack has is a matching back-image and ranks that allow the cards to be played like a traditional deck of US playing cards. This allows players to mix and-match any 4 booster packs to make their own decks of playing cards with unique suits.

If you want to make your own Obtuse Suit, the Back-Card.PNG is below so you can use to make your own suit of playing card. You can make you own account on The Game Crafter [link] to create you own 14 card booster pack that is your own suit.
You don’t need to follow regular playing deck design etiquette to make your own suit. You can design the Ace, Jack/Knave, Queen, King, Joker face cards any way you want. You can make different suites for different projects or stages in your career. In fact you can think of this as another business to create you bespoken merchandise like those plushie or plastic figure businesses.
