Partitions

Partitions are an evenly distributed 1-5 point system.

Why It Exists

Partitions are the 1-5 filled-symbol values on the lower rail. They provide a simple, evenly striped score across suits and ranks.

Uses in Play

Use the filled-symbol count as a small point value, bid, cost, or hand-building constraint.

Choose a single value for a balanced 30-card subset, require one of each value in a collection, or combine the score with another system. For a 50-card subset that preserves icon pairs, use an icon group.

Relationships

Partitions share the lower rail with icon groups. The point value is evenly distributed across the deck, across each suit and suit color, and across each rank and rank band.
