i am seriously considering making a 5 suited deck of cards, what should the 5th suit be? it should be something that fits the other four, and appears that it has always been there?

what do you think it should be?

There was a five-suit video poker game at the Orleans for a while. It used clovers as the fifth suit.

Green clovers is no good. Not only do clovers look like clubs, in four-color decks, clubs are green because they look like clovers!

I recall seeing a five suit deck that was also five colors. Diamonds were blue. The fifth suit was yellow stars.

2 Red, 2 Black suits, so I think you need a suit that needs to be visible enough. Yellow and Orange don't cut it, and I think Green is too close to red for the color blind, so I would say BLUE. As for a shape, you've got hearts and diamonds in the reds and spades and clubs in the black. Blacks are weapons and tools, while reds are pleasant.

Crowns and Anchors (the wheel at carnival games) would be the extra suits they come up with there. So, I would say a BLUE Crown.

Since unbalanced color is an issue I would make soemhting custom and base it on the yin/yang of the Korean Flag. Not a direct ripoff, but something with the look. ANd this would have the advangtage of being playable with other reds or blacks.

If you make a billion on it, what do I get-a free deck?

I was going to suggest Blue Stars but saw this at Five Suit Deck:

Quote: Wikipedia

Previously, Five Star Playing Cards poker sized, was manufactured by Five Star Games, which had a gold colored fifth suit of five pointed stars.

Someday, joor goin' to see the name of Googie Gomez in lights and joor goin' to say to joorself, "Was that her?" and then joor goin' to answer to joorself, "That was her!" But you know somethin' mister? I was always her yuss nobody knows it! - Googie Gomez

Its a 5-color deck then, the already-been-done 4-color deck + horseshoes... I prefer bright orange. Of course the King of Horseshoes has to look like Benny Binion.
NOOOO.... wait, I'm dating myself. LOL
Now that thats settled, should the Jack of Horseshoes be a Suicide Jack? :P

Collecting decks of cards is a very cool hobby. The decks from the 1700's and 1800's are often magnificent and no two of them are the same.

There are 4-color decks around. Red Hearts, Black Spades, Blue DIamonds, and Green Clubs. Add the Orange Horseshoes as fifth suit/color.
JIC you never saw them here's a picture.
