Six Generations Card Games/Playing Cards: Immigration from Europe to America edition Editorial Review:
"SIX GENERATIONS: Immigration From Europe To America Edition", an innovative deck of playing cards designed and published by Fyodor Soloview, is a pleasant example of information coupled with entertainment. This pack contains a set of 72 cards with pictures of six generations of immigrants belonging to a family who came to the United States from sixteen European nations in the first half of the nineteenth century. The latest generation consists of the siblings Emily and Jacob, currently living in the United States; and the other five generations represent their ancestors.
Six Generations card games/playing cards modeled after the structure of a family tree - a man and a woman, two sets of parents, four sets of grandparents, eight sets of great grandparents, and sixteen sets of great-great grandparents. The 72 cards, comprising pictures of 36 men and 36 women, are divided into six categories. Each category portrays a different generation.
This democratic card deck abolishes the structure of the French Pack that uses Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces, and is based on the inventor's idea of creating a deck of family members in multiple generations. Each generation is doubled in the amount of family members, thereby making a deck of 64, which comes closest to the standard French Pack while being true to a balanced family tree.
The deck is ranking by not using numbers only, from one to six, but additionally, using matching costumes for family couples that are in the different suits. The oldest, sixth generation came to the United States from around Europe, while the different family members have particular names corresponding the country they came from, and the time periods.
With Six Generations playing cards, the game players and inventors may create hundreds new card games, including the games playable with six-sided dice. The following card games have been already created: Six Generations, The Heirs, GenPoker, 23, Blind Date, Dynastia, and Meet Ancestors.
The current deck of playing cards is packed with rules of the solitaire-type Six Generations card game. The rules of other new card games are available at the publisher's web-site sixgenerations.com.
Recommended for all ages, "Six Generations" is a highly engaging concept aimed at providing wholesome entertainment. It would be a welcome addition to any family's personal collection of games. This deck of playing cards also has educational value, as it provides useful clues to the different types of clothing worn by the people from different nations and time periods that are featured on its cards. Players will learn 72 most popular male and female first names and memorize 20 European countries and regions. Children will realize how many ancestors (62!) lived through just the last five generations to make their own life happen!
Fyodor Soloview's creative idea is well complemented by the appealing artwork of Andrey Ayoshin and Ludmila Lugina.
