4-color deck?

Post by FrankJones »

I am surprised this is not an option. Some of us have difficulty seeing the cards when two red suits or two black suits are adjacent. Many cards games (most, in fact) on other platforms use blue diamonds and green clubs. That would be an excellent feature to add here.

There are two reasons:

- BGA Spades is not actively maintained.
- The demand for a four-color sprite is actually very low in trick-taking games.
Afaik, this is the first suggestion regarding this topic for BGA Spades.


Btw, I sorted top 30 popularity 'Classic' tag card games on BGA:

- Supports four-color sprite
Hearts (added today)
Rummy
Cribbage
Canasta
Oh Hell!
Gin Rummy
Machiavelli
Open Face Chinese Poker
Pinochle

- No four-color sprite
French Tarot
Belote
Spades
Coinche
Texas Hold'em
Euchre
President
Sevens

- Four-color sprite is not needed
Hand and Foot
Tock
Spite and Malice
Golf
Kings in the Corner
99 (addition card game)
Blackjack
Cucumber
Palace
Go Fish!

- Other sprites are available
Scopa (Italian / Spanish)
Skat (German)
31 (German / Hungarian)

Good idea as the cards are small and similar shape.

Good suggestion. I hope they do this. The hears and diamonds are similar. The clubs and spades are even more similar to each other. Where can we request this?
