Description of playing cards and game boards of full version.

Or look brief description for full version of card game construction.

The full version of game construction contains two chess boards and third pack of playing cards, and also the deck or set of jokers which supplement the basic version of constructive design.
Distinctive attributes or features of third pack are dark circles on faces and double dark circles on backs of playing card sheets. But other parameters of playing designations of three card packs are equivalent. Namely playing cards have colors which are designated by various paints in contours of traditional suits, and also digital meanings or numerical values which are specified by mathematical figures or numbers.
Digital meanings of playing cards in the third pack have double zeroes which provide distinction and at the same time equal advantages of numerical values in three packs in the complete set of boars game. For example, 1R one red and 10G ten green and 100Y hundred yellow in three packs can be perceived by players or gamers as playing cards which have equal or different numerical values depending on various variants of game rules.
And also playing cards of the third pack have focusing arrows for direction aside opponents at arrangements on a game board.
Design feature of the third card pack is distribution of color suits and digital meanings on two and three proportional groups which can be applied if not only two, but also three players participate in board games.
Presence and absence of daggers on facial and back surfaces of playing cards means belonging to two proportional game groups.
Points in the bottom left corners of playing cards specify belonging to three proportional groups.
Distribution to three proportional gaming groups contradicts quadruple card combination theory, namely contradicts division of playing cards and squares of game board into four colors or suits. But however use of three proportional groups or three packs at observance of necessary game rules provides equal odds of a prize to players.
The correct triple combination theory is used at distribution to proportional groups of three-suited playing cards about which it is possible to learn on corresponding page of this website.
In essence three packs of playing cards in the basic and full versions in constructive design of this construction are not intended for games in which three players can take part, but intended for different chess boards.
Because three card packs are distributed on proportional groups differently, and also linear structures of three game boards are arranged differently. Namely verticals of chess boards «A» and «B» in the basic and full versions have different dispositions of color suits, that allows to choose various packs and proportional groups of playing cards for games or patience puzzles on different linear structures of rectangular sectors.
The chess playing board «C» has 72 rectangular sectors, namely 8 horizontals and 9 verticals. One vertical row of rectangular sectors is colorless and is intended for jokers. Namely for various games and patience puzzles in which players or gamers can use playing cards of jokers.
The deck of jokers in the complete set of the offered board game is made with 12 playing cards which correspond to three packs. Namely four jokers for each pack.
Appearance of jokers is similar to playing cards of three packs. But jokers have no color suits, and instead of numerical values or digital meanings have zeroes. On faces and backs on sheets of jokers there are presence or absence of daggers, that designates belonging to proportional game groups in structures of corresponding card packs.
Total players or gamers can use three chess boards and three packs of playing cards, and also the deck of jokers for rules and instructions of various games and intellectual patience puzzles.

Organizers of sports tournaments at International Federation of Poker IFP and competitions of players at World Bridge Federation WBF can consider such game opportunity.
