Who am I? What is Hexadec?   How do you play Hexadec? What do the cards look like? Who am I? My name is Daniel Zwickel, and I reside in the San Francisco Bay area.  I am a professional musician, composer and songwriter, and Web page designer & host & certified domain junkie, currently holding over sixty. My latest musical project is a large sacred work, titled, “Metanoia – a Universalist Mass”. What is Hexadec? Hexadec is a computer-theme playing card design I created, based on a system of coding called hexadecimal, or base-sixteen.  It has four suits, number cards from 0 to 9, face cards from A to F, and ancillary cards such as a Punch Card, Bugs and Hackers and Job Control Language (JCL) cards.  There are 80 cards in all. How do you play Hexadec? You don’t really play Hexadec – you play card games with it.  I have adapted games such as solitaire, poker, cribbage and contract bridge (with help from a professional), and have created games unique to Hexadec, such as its signature game, “16’s”. What do the cards look like? You may take a peek at them by clicking on: GALLERY. Are you a geek, nerd, computer or math freak or otherwise tech-wonkinshly inclined and interested in playing the Hexadec version of Texas Hold-em competitively?  No money prizes — just for fun, bragging rights and for a worthy cause.  Get in on the ground floor via the Hexadec Viral Underground Collective Invitational! Daniel Zwickel ben Avram, Revised 12 April, 2008. So.  Just how much of a geek are you? In Hexadec's earlier incarnation, it had a User's Manual.  I've put it online, but it's not completely finished.  I shouldn't do this without checking it out first, but, what the hell.  Take it for what it is, a lot of silliness.  To check it out for yourself, just click on the Cover below:
