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.

Partitions
Partitions are an evenly distributed 1-5 point system.
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
In v2, the lower rail carries three signals: the filled-symbol count gives the partition value, the symbol shape identifies the icon group, and the end bars identify the icon half. The point value is evenly distributed across the deck, across each suit and suit color, and across each rank and rank band.
