Golden Spike Bicycle® Playing Cards

Since the comment was left, I decided to check out a new card deck on Kickstarter and it is indeed pretty cool. I’m a big fan of trains and history so it clearly has my interest. Here is a new deck called Golden Spike Bicycle® Playing Cards by Jody Eklund. I’ve bought several cards decks over the past few months and they are always fun to collect. These are one of a kind decks that won’t be available in any store you go to. If you want to get something unique this is the way to go. The Golden Spike deck looks quite nice and pays tribute to the golden age of rail. Golden Spike Playing Cards are inspired by the completion of the 1st Transcontinental Railroad On May 10th, 1869. It was the first rail line that connected the east to the west and revolutionized transportation and commerce in a post Civil War United States. A Golden Spike was […]

Get MADE! Mob-Themed USPCC BICYCLE® Playing Card Decks

Here’s another card project for you, this time Mafia themed. I really like the style of this card set, it captures the period pretty damn well – we have the gangsters, the femme fatales, the cars, the guns and the money. For right now there are two card styles – Gold and Silver. I say for right now because you never know what’s going to come up next as different levels are unlocked. Aside from the cards there are plenty of other goodies associated with this project. We have the Display Box, the Canvas Prints and the Liquid Courage box. Those are worth getting on their own. And fear not, you can bundle up on cards right from the start. You can add a couple of decks of each set all the way to an extra brick of each! Talk about All-In! This is another set I’m backing and if you like card games or just want to snack some […]

Muertos – Day of the Dead Playing Cards

It’s the final hours of the Muertos – Day of the Dead Playing Cards and the cards and rewards are amazing. Originally, this Kickstarter project was just for the stunning Muertos cards – a fantastic set of cards celebrating Dia de los Muertos trimmed in gold. From  there we got Mourning cards and now we have the Celebration deck, the Sun deck and the Love deck all celebrating the spirit of life. The decks are some of the best I’ve seen and considering the caliber of the decks I already have, that’s saying something. These decks are fantastic and there’s no way I could possibly choose between them so of course I have to get them all. There are 5 decks in all, plus there are wooden poker chips which are amazing, two different sets of dice (with more coming), a poker box, t-shirts, poster, coins and even a set of wooden cards if you’re so inclined. Quite honestly, there […]

60 minutes and counting for Dead Man’s Draw

Now this has me nervous. There’s only an hour left in this campaign and still a few thousand dollars to raise. This is going to be very close. I know a lot of people wait until the very end before they pledge, but this is cutting it way too fine. I really hope people come together and bump up that number. It’ll be disappointing not to see this game come in physical form. It needs just a few more people to make it happen. Come on, throw in $5 bucks to help make this cool card game. It only needs a few more people to push this over the top. Who’s with me? Dead Man’s Draw – A Card Game of Risk and Reward

Only 3 Hours Left for Dead Man’s Draw on Kickstarter

We’re down to the wire now, only 3 hours left to pledge for this project. I’ve been playing this on the iPad for a few weeks now and enjoy the game immensely. It’s extremely simple to learn, but provides hours of entertainment. And it’s not just the same game over and over again. With the traits in play, you have almost infinite variety. Dead Man’s Draw was available for free just the other day so I hope you got a chance to download it and check it out. If you’re like me, you’d like to have a physical set of cards to play with as well. Here’s your chance, but only if we get a few more dollars in the kitty. This one is really doable and it only takes a few more people to come on board to make it happen. If you haven’t already, jump on over to Kickstarter and pick up a deck of cards. Dead Man’s […]
