Please describe the problem in detail:

This game had two different card backs shuffled together. I didn't count to see if there were 52 of each; you couldn't tell anyways, since you never see the backs of the cards in the tableau.

That is intentional. We thought it gave the game a "homey" feeling—when you play 2 deck card games at home you never have have matching decks...

And yeah, there are 52 of each deck.

The game with the most decks is 1 suit spider. It takes 8 decks to get enough cards of a single suit to play.
