It has since been published in:

Variations

  • Omni Deck by Jerry Andrus in Korem without Limits (1985)
    • Omni Deck manufactured by Palmer Tilden (1)
  • Simon Lovell's Holey Deck (2) - not solid, but uses the same principles. Deck ends up with a hole in middle of every card.
  • (1) Who know the date ? Because we have an Omni Deck by Jerry Andrus in Korem without Limits (1985).
