This is a little different than most of the decks on this website. This is a forty card Spanish deck. The cards are ranked upwards from one thru twelve, but in the fashion of Spanish decks, the eights and nines are removed, as they are not frequently used in many games that involve a Spanish deck. The suits are coins, cups, swords, and batons, as opposed to the standard suits on an American deck. Also, these have a noticeably different profile, as they are not your typical sized cards. Also, there are no jokers to be found in this deck, as they are not typically used for these types of games either, and I personally am finding it exceedingly rare to see jokers in any of the Spanish decks that I come across. I'm happy to find these in an actual box, as most of the decks I've seen were wrapped in cellophane on the shelf in a local Spanish grocery store, with no box included. The artwork is of course beautiful, which is why I stick with Fournier for Spanish decks, it's my personal favorite brand. I will say that it would be nice to have the eights, nines, and jokers, for the sake of having a choice as to use them or not in your games, or for being able to create your own games or your own variants of games. However, per aforementioned reasons, and to save on costs as well, the decision not to include these cards makes sense. I'm scoring this a little lower, because in my opinion, the Heraclio Fouriner decks have a much nicer finish on the artwork.
