European Millennium Deck

The European Millennium Deck is a deck of playing cards that consists of multiples of cards in playing decks, with two of each card from each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) Ace through 4 then Jack through King. Therefore, although there are two of each card as listed below, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s and 10s are missing, providing some limitation of games that can be played. Two red jokers and two black jokers are also included, bringing the total of cards in the deck to 60.
History
The European Millennium deck was designed to play variants of existing card games, or new card games originally designed for the deck. The name comes from the time and place of its invention - England 2009-2010, still in early stages of the Millennium and European. The name suggests it could be the next most widespread deck providing it has the proper games, it could be as famous as the Anglo-American cards near the end of a couple of centuries.
Games
Some of the games that can be played are variants of the Italian game Scopa, versions of Trumps (to an extent), and matching games like Koi Koi and Hanafuda; not to mention other 'new' games like Fotbal and variants of War. Also playable are specially designed games and predecided rules between players.
How to acquire
Although not specifically for sale yet, the deck can easily be made by mixing 2 Anglo-American decks with the appropriate cards. These decks must have the same back and weight so they are modular and can be mixed. Remember to include jokers.
