Other Pairs: The Name Of The Wind – Commonwealth Deck

Pairs is a “New Classic Pub Game” designed by James Ernest and Paul Peterson. It’s a simple press-your luck card game with no winner, just one loser. The deck is 55 cards, numbered 1 through 10, with 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, and so on up to 10×10. It’s simple, fast, and fun. The Commonwealth Deck is based on Patrick Rothfuss’ “Name of the Wind” book series, and contains archetypes from that world illustrated by Shane Tyree. The deck also contains the rules for the variant game “Sweep,” a bidding game for 3 to 6 players.
