Yes, well we tend to use "French-suited playing cards" in the U.S. as well.
French-suited playing cards - Wikipedia[^]
German-suited playing cards - Wikipedia[^]
There are essentially three factors to consider...
The pip cards:
Ace (A), 2 through 10 -- "Standard"
Ace (A), 6 through 10 -- "Stripped"
Ace (A), 7 through 10 -- "Stripped"
Ace (A), 9 through 10 -- "Stripped"
(other schemes exist)
The court cards:
English -- Jack (J), Queen (Q), King (K)
French (1) -- Valet (V), Dame (D), Roi (R)
French (2) -- Valet (V), Chevalier (C), Dame (D), Roi (R)
German (1) -- Unter (U), Ober (O), König (K)
German (2) -- Bube (B), Dame (D), König (K)
(other schemes exist)
The suits:
English -- Diamonds, Clubs, Hearts, Spades
French -- Carreaux (tiles), Trèfles (clovers), Cœurs (hearts), Piques (pikes)
German -- Schelle (bells), Eichel (acorns), Herz (hearts), Blatt (leaves)
Swiss -- Schellen (bells), Eicheln (acorns), Rosen (roses), Schilten (shields)
(other schemes exist)
Pick one from column A, one from column B, one from column C, add Jokers as required...
I assume you are familiar with the deck which has the "standard" pip cards, the "German (2)" court cards, and the "French" suits -- I have such a deck I bought in Germany.
What I am seeking is similar, but has the "German" suits instead.
I think this comes close to what I want, if they mean the court cards are the "German (2)" set:
"
In 2019, ASS Altenburger produced a double 52-card, German-suited pack for the game of Rommé. However, uniquely, it had Queens and Jacks instead of Obers and Unters.
"
After posting my question, I found this:
Altenburger Spielkartenladen Rummy, German image.: Amazon.de: Toys & Games[^]
Which looks like what I want. I'm assuming it isn't a commonly used deck in Germany.

"Altenburger Spielkartenladen Rummy, German image" is an unusual cards set - a mix of german and french cards.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. But more German than I've seen.
|

I just ordered two different decks (54- and 78-cards) from the French version of the site as well and I'll see what arrives.

(Bube) by another handle but now that think about it, aren't there really 54 cards in a deck?
[EDIT]
Oops. Perhaps I meant "K,". Etc ...

54 with 2 Jokers, yes, but obviously there are many more Jokers than actual cards around here...

Is hemming up a seamy activity? (6)

That didn't take long, now did it?
I wasn't sure if I wanted to post that as a TotD or CCC ...

Next time is it humming? (no himming and homming as much as I know)

I came up with this one before yesterdays - I wasn't sure if it should be a TotD or not as hemming and seaming are outside many developers bailiwick.

Her name is Kotlin. She's the younger sister of that beautiful dame Java.
A couple of months ago I decided its time to conquer Android. Started out on this quest using Java but soon realized the best platform is Kotlin. What a beautiful language! So concise, so brief and to the point. Requiring minimal typing. And to add to the pleasure I used the Android Studio, which is a variation of the excellent IntelliJ IDE.
Aaaaah! Life is good in retirement.

I look forward to your CP articles on Kotlin !

If you chose Kotlin, you have to juggle learning a new language and learning the Android framework/ecosystem. Double whammy!

Your post rekindles my drive to pick up Kotlin this weekend again after given up 2 months ago.

Good luck! By the way, I found the following book, that you can get as a Kindle from Amazon, useful. The book is slightly out of date as it uses a handful of items that have been deprecated:
Android Studio 4.2 Development Essentials. Kotlin Edition. By Neil Smyth. Make sure you get version 4.2. Amazon also offers an older version. Of course the book covers Kotlin for the Android operating system.
