Changed:

< * It's easy to double up 10 of the dark and light suits in a Rainbow Deck to get the 5 colors needed above. The 6 Jokers likewise present no problem. Just remove the 1 and 2 cards from each suit.
< * If you omit Stars (orange/yellow), add back in the 1 and 2 cards, use only one of each of the remaining double suits, and 2 Jokers, you have a nice FiveCrowns color mapping for the PokerDeck.
< * If you return the full yellow (not orange) Stars suit to this mapping of the PokerDeck, you have a 67-card FiveCrowns color mapping of the StarDeck.
