I noticed something strange. Out of the top 18 top grossing playing card decks the categories are somewhat divided.

5 are in Design

5 are in Graphic Design

7 are in Table Top Games

and 1 in Nonfiction which boggles my mind.

To me, Playing Cards are Table Top Games. I'm I missing something? Is there an advantage to being in a different category?

I notice Jackson uses only the broad Design category. What if I used the broad Games category. Would I have some advantage?
It seems like if I used Games It would be harder to find me because I think most people are looking for either Video games or Table Top Games.
I think less people check the Games category when searching.

What are your thoughts?

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

My thoughts are that you're overthinking it.

When I want "playing cards" or a "deck of cards", that is precisely what I search for.  The categories are more for casual browsers with money burning a hole in their pockets.  If it's a design-heavy deck, Design is fine.  Games would be a more accurate category overall.  Non-fiction is pushing it!

When I go on KS and plan on backing a playing card deck, I simply search for playing cards, just as Don said. You need to relax a little bud  8)
