First, it's great to meet another EuroGamer.. (and just so you know, 
Alhambra has already been done  :)

Anyways, none of your 3 decks differ in ANY way.. the only way they 
differ is in their operation, not their structure which means it's not a 
good candidate for sub classing.

i.e... the contents of the deck can be pulled out into a deck builder 
(check out GOF builder/GOF factory) (probably some type of game class) 
that would construct the deck for a particular game but the deck for 
each game would have the same operations such as shuffle(), sort(), 
draw(), etc..
