Legends Four Kingdoms

Just want to say that I don't think this should be in the database, it's not a deck of cards, it's a game. Or should we start adding Pokeno and every other game out there also? Just because it was printed by, and is, Legends, doesn't mean it should be on there imo.

I don't know enough about this deck to say for sure, but I would say it appears to fall into a grey area. It seems to have Kings/Queens/Jokers, etc, but also appears it's not a standard full deck. Generally any deck that has a full set of cards, even if designed for a particular game does fit, provided it follows standard conventions. Although to be fair, by this description the Ace of Spades deck shouldn't be in the database either, same for a number of very early decks from history or some asian decks. It's clear board games and Kickstarter non card deck add-ons are out, but there's a big area of things like this that aren't so cut and dry. If this doesn't have number cards as well then I would tend to agree it probably doesn't belong, but it's not so far off that I would immediately delete it, looking for community input on this one and others in this grey area.

WHAT NOT TO ADD
* Do NOT add decks in concept, planning, funding or still in production. Wait until they have been delivered
* Do NOT add card games that do not also function as a standard deck (has numbered cards, courts, suits, etc). Exceptions can be made for card games that also are a full deck, alternate or additional suits, alternate indices, using numbers instead of JKQ, or of course alternate conventions worldwide, etc. For example, do not add Uno, Hanabi or Cards Against Humanity , but a card game like Wizard would work because it can also easily be identified as a standard deck for use in other standard card games.
* Tarot decks fall into a grey area and can be added if a member feels strongly about it being included, although that is not the primary goal of the database. If added please prefix title with 'TAROT DECK - ' for clarity until a new type field can be added as a selection.
* Do NOT add coins, shirts or any other add on from a card related Kickstarter project or theme. This includes custom wood boxes UNLESS it serves as the ONLY tuckbox (as a full tuck swap) and was fully packaged and sold as a set vs an add-on.
