The decks of Lascuarenta.es (The Forty)
Every deck has its own character, but none of them sacrifices clarity. Suit and value are recognisable at a glance. Here you can see the forty-eight cards and the two jokers of each design.
Default deck
The deck everyone plays with from day one
The default deck is on the table from day one, no purchases or unlocks needed. It comes with your account and is the one you'll find when you enter a quick game of Brisca, Tute, Cuatrola, Chinchón or Escoba.

Aged artwork in the style of 1900
The Antique Deck sets the tone for the whole site and is the illustrated reward of Story mode. It imitates the lithographed sheets of early-20th-century Spanish decks: flat, muted inks, brick-toned reds, paper with wear marks and edges worn from passing through many hands.

Maximum readability on small screens
The Simple deck came out of a recurring complaint: some artwork is hard to read on a small phone, especially when playing on the go. That's why it uses large symbols, a clean background, plenty of contrast and no decoration that distracts from the card.

Knights, kingdoms and a bestiary on the court cards
Medieval Fantasy takes the Spanish deck into an imagined kingdom. The kings are castle monarchs; the knaves, armoured riders; and the jacks, squires and archers. The suits stay easy to recognise, though now the coins are treasure coins, the cups ceremonial chalices, the swords worked steel and the clubs are staffs of command.

Saloons, sheriffs and frontier dust
The West deck mixes Spanish cards with the Western: wide-brimmed hats, sheriff stars, revolvers on the court cards and saloon and dry-earth backgrounds. Clubs become mesquite branches and swords, frontier blades.

The four suits reimagined as science fiction
The Galactic Deck moves completely away from the Antique's style. It has deep backgrounds, cold lights and suits turned into technology: energy cores for the coins, sealed containers for the cups, plasma weapons for the swords and antennas and masts for the clubs.

Christmas edition: holly, gifts and the Three Wise Men
The Christmas Deck is Lascuarenta.es (The Forty)'s winter edition, made for the games that only happen at Christmas: the long lunch on the 25th, the afternoon with the cousins you only see once a year, and the New Year's Eve session that starts with coffee and ends at dawn.

The seasonal deck, pumpkins included
The Halloween deck is the site's seasonal edition: pumpkins, ravens, cobwebs and masked court cards. The four suits keep their shape but change texture and company.

Runes, warriors and northern legends across the four suits
The Viking Deck takes the four Spanish suits into a landscape of fjords, runes and northern expeditions. The structure remains that of a Spanish deck, dressed here in aged metal and details reminiscent of wood carving.

Samurai, cherry blossoms and Japanese tradition across the four suits
The Japanese Deck dresses the Spanish cards in motifs from classical Japan. Its forty-eight cards feature cherry blossoms, torii gates, mountains, clouds and traditional architecture, always on light backgrounds that keep every value easy to read.

A bright, expressive medieval deck that's easy to read
The Caricature Deck presents the Spanish deck with a bright, playful medieval drawing style. Its forty-eight cards are full illustrations, each with its own composition, a continuous frame and the rank visible in both corners.

Dogs, cats and loyalty to share in every game
The Best Friends Deck brings together dogs and cats in forty-eight illustrations full of personality. There are playful puppies and cats with a regal bearing, but the structure of the Spanish deck stays clear and the suit and value are always easy to tell apart.

A journey through the cultures that shaped the peninsula
The Hispania Deck travels through four eras of peninsular history across forty-eight cards. Each suit keeps the traditional structure and gets its own historical identity. The value is recognised first; the details of each illustration come after.
