I love these ideas, though feel I would prefer designs that (may) sacrifice some utility for aesthetics. That isn't a knock on the magnificent effort here, but just my own preference. It's likely the emojis that I'm not thrilled about, but I can also appreciate the reason for using them.
Here's one I peek at from time to time: http://wiki.decktet.com/introduction-to-the-decktet
This reminds me of one of those dice I saw that can roll anything from a D4 through a D20, if not more. Technically usable, but ... complicated.
I like the "go first" dice
This is a fantastic essay and project, but the chances of getting anyone to play an actual game with it are basically zero.
It baffles me that this isn't mentioned in the page, but a deck like this is extremely useful for testing while designing a new boardgame. They are very versatile and can likely emulate whatever wacky system you come up with for your game, which means you can iterate without having to print a new deck new each time.

I have read novels written by engineers. More often than not, they are unreadable. They fail to understand why people read (or write). They are an engineer's idea of what a novel should look like. In the most loving way possible and as a software engineer myself, this is an engineer's idea of what a deck of cards should look like.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

A configurable deck of cards. It's not like you see these in every store. That being said, I love the page. The layout, use of colors and the content.

Right, but a card game with specific cards already chosen and designed for me that let the cognitive burden be on the game strategy itself is much more useful for the majority of people, and typically cost $5-10. This multi deck would be a nightmare with children too.
