# Final card product plan

## One set or themed sets?

For launch, use **one strong core set**.

Do not split the deck into themed visual sub-sets yet. A single unified deck is better for:
- readability
- recognition speed
- production consistency
- teaching the game cleanly
- keeping the app and cards tightly aligned

You can add themed cosmetic sets later, after the core deck is proven in play.

## Core deck principles

- 52 cards, Jokers removed when using a poker deck proxy
- Four clear pillars / suits:
  - Diamonds = Seen
  - Hearts = Held
  - Clubs = Helped
  - Spades = Secured
- Face cards and Aces are still playable normally
- J / Q / K / A also enable the one-time-per-suit printed suit power
- All number cards remain weaveable under the existing rules
- Every card should show its Dig Deep reveal value on the face so the deck teaches the app flow at a glance

## On-card information to print

Every card should visibly contain:
- rank
- suit icon
- pillar name
- short one-line meaning
- Dig Deep value
- for J / Q / K / A only: that suit's power text

## Clinic components

Do not add separate clinic cards at launch.

Keep Clinic state inside the app so the table setup stays clean. The deck should remain focused on intervention play, not app bookkeeping.
