    When you create a CVCX sim, below the numbers of decks, you will see an option that allows 3, 5, and 7 decks.

    Double check that it really is five decks. It is possible that they are using thinner cards and that your friend has mis-estimated. Also double check that it is not Spanish 21. Six Spanish decks can look very similar to five full decks at a quick glance.

    Why not just ask - how many decks?

    Sure. I just wanted to point out some of the potential pitfalls of trusting second hand information.
