You know that sometimes you collect things and you’re not entirely sure why?
I like decks of cards, and not just any decks of cards, I like interesting cards, and that brings us
back to the Kickstarter problem. There
are cards everywhere on that site, the
first kickstarter I backed was a set of cards, and even now, I have problems
when I see a shiny new set on there.
Two reasons
1: A single deck of cards doesn’t usually break the bank.
2: When you’re playing games that use cards as part of a mechanism (or
just poker), a really good deck stands out like you wouldn’t believe and for me
enhances the playing experience. It’s like using really nice dice, it’s not
that they’re any better than any other dice, it’s that you want to roll them more. With
Cards, it’s not just that I want to get the royal flush, but as you’ll see when
you see the cards in question, you just want to get all the brilliant cards out
there to show the others around the table.
So with no further ado, here are
The Cthulhu Deck
The First Steampunk deck
The Quicksilver Deck
The Black Book (Look closely at these)
The Extraordinary Adventures Deck (My favourite)
I’ve got another set arriving
soon, and I’ll post those up when I get them, but if anyone else has
interesting decks, please share J
