Each of the cards in the deck of playing cards are elongated, have rounded semicircular ends connected by linear sides, suitable card names and denominations printed in the upper left and lower right corners, and have a height to width ratio in the range of 3.0 to 3.8. The carrying case is shaped to fit the deck of cards, is elongated with rounded ends and has a generally truncated ellipsoidal shape.

Abstract: A folding chaise lounge is made from three foam cushions individually covered in fabric and shaped to form a seat, a leg rest, and an ottoman. The leg rest is attached to the front edge of the seat by an elongated fabric hinge. The leg rest has a gently contoured, convex side which complements a concave contour of the seat, which when opened combine to form a chaise lounge having a gentle, lazy, S-shaped body supporting surface. The opposite side of the leg rest is concavely contoured to complement the upper contour of the ottoman. The ottoman is a separate piece, unconnected to either the seat or leg rest. When folded in repose, the leg rest nests within the concave seat, and when the ottoman is placed within the concave contour of the leg rest, the assemblage forms a cube for easy storage, shipping and handling.
