A four-color deck is identical to the standard Anglo-American Playing Card s except for the color of the Suits . In a typical four-color deck, hearts are red and spades are black as usual, but clubs are green and diamonds are blue. However, other color combinations are possible. A four-color deck for poker was developed and publicised by Mike Caro . It was introduced at his World Poker Finals at Foxwoods Resort Casino in 1992. His original design was not a success due to the choice of colors. However, four-color decks have become a somewhat popular option in Internet Poker software interfaces since often each player may use their preferred design of Playing Cards without affecting others' experience, and since visibility is not as good on a small screen as in face-to-face play. Having each suit represented by a different color can allow players to more easily recognise a Flush . Attempts have also been made to introduce four-color decks in Bridge , where they are often called no-revoke decks because they are perceived to reduce the risk of a player accidentally Revoking (illegally playing a card of a suit other than that led). In the German game of Skat the official tournament standard is to use four-color decks. In these, spades are green and diamonds are yellow, the hearts and clubs being respectively red and black as normal. This is intended as a compromise for players who prefer German Suits . Certain card games, such as various forms of Solitaire like Freecell , presuppose a standard two-color deck. It is thus unlikely that a four-color deck would ever completely replace the two-color deck. EXTERNAL LINKS
