Bicycle Cards Joker

Bicycle Cards Joker

This variation of Bridge uses a deck that includes 55 cards, rather than the standard 52 cards. The three extra cards are called "colon cards." These can include the two jokers in a standard deck of cards, along with the display card. The most decorative Joker card will be the "Grand Colon", the other Joker card is the "Royal Colon," and the display card is the "Little Colon".

For the youth group of eight to sixteen year olds that I run along with my husband, we devised a simple system of discipline. It rewards good behaviour, giving the youth something positive to aim for, rather than always looking at the negative side. We use two ace cards and two joker cards from a deck of normal playing cards. You can use more or less according to the number in your youth group. We typically have 18-25 youth.
