Playing Cards for Musicians
MusoDeck - a musician's deck of playing cards designed by Leighton Wood, from Australia. 54 cards + Get Started Quick Guide in tuck box, manufactured by Spicers (2002). MusoDeck was invented to help to learn the names of musical notes. The deck is very simple in its design, keeping the focus on reading music. The four suits each have distinct Aces, Jacks, Queens, Kings and Jokers as well as the numerals - all based on note pitch. The indices are musical notes on a staff, and the suits are Bass and Treble clefs in red and black. The Get Started Quick Guide gives a detailed explanation of the design of the cards as well as rules for playing games such as MusoDeck Snap, Time Please, Dominant, No Rest for the Wicked and Speed Reader. All your favourite games can also be played, even chess! Furthermore, by overlapping the cards you can create hundreds of musical tunes and practise sight reading.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
