Can you guess the deck(s)??

Fess · « **Reply #1 on:** January 24, 2015, 07:01:48 AM »

Looks to me like the independence decks, The Crown and The Continental decks. I could be wrong, I don't see so well haha. Whatever the decks, Looks like there was some fun to be had there!

EvanEssence · « **Reply #2 on:** January 24, 2015, 07:04:44 AM »

Guess that one was too easy. Next week I'll make everyone play on a deck that is slightly more esoteric

Fess · « **Reply #3 on:** January 24, 2015, 07:20:34 AM »

Haha, maybe it was. Either way, that is a great image to see. Not only is there a Miller Lite can next to a Mt. Dew can, which in itself is fun. There's also people having a great time playing with custom playing cards. Good vibes, good times, good cards, with good friends. That's a whole lotta good things, good things. Thanks for sharing and the guessing game.

What I want to know is what game they are playing. I do not recognize the card configuration from any I have ever played. Unless its a drinking game, then maybe I have played it but apparantely I lost because I was too smashed to remember playing..., or would that mean that I won? Matter of perspective I guess.

The title didn't give you a clue? "Friendly game of golf?"

In my defense, I just woke up. Plus Im still not sure if that is a drinking game or not. Never heard of it.

Let's make this simple, then. No. Not a drinking game. In the sense that it's not designed for drinking, as any game with enough rules changes can become a drinking game... But no, not a drinking game by design. I've heard of it - never played it.

EvanEssence · « **Reply #8 on:** January 24, 2015, 05:23:26 PM »

We love golf, and pretty much everyone we teach it gets into it quickly. Takes only one practice hand to learn, you don't have to hold a lot of cards in your hand at the same time, you don't have to hide your cards from the people next to you, and it merges two decks together so you can enjoy MORE art

We'll probably be playing again tonight for a few rounds.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #9 on:** January 24, 2015, 07:18:29 PM »

So what did the ladies think of the cards?

EvanEssence · « **Reply #10 on:** January 24, 2015, 11:30:58 PM »

The girls love the cards! My wife especially. She is being very supportive in this insane new addiction of mine.

Anyways new game. NAME THE DECK!

Bicycle Frontier.

The photo looks really odd - let me guess: a stitched-together panoramic shot?

EvanEssence · « **Reply #12 on:** January 25, 2015, 12:48:24 AM »

yes as you can see, Bradley has ten fingers

that deck was also too easy!

EvanEssence · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2015, 12:50:25 AM »

ok so here is two different non-related decks. Bonus points for guessing both!

I suspect English Laundry and Pagan. You do realize that Uusi is one of my clients, right?

It would seriously help if the photos were larger and clearer. Damn things are practically indistinguishable.

EvanEssence · « **Reply #15 on:** January 25, 2015, 07:33:28 AM »

Yes it would help, but that would make it even more easy. Pagan was right but not English laundry

Fess · « **Reply #16 on:** January 25, 2015, 07:43:06 AM »

The second deck there is Aves. Gorgeous deck.

EvanEssence · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2015, 06:59:16 PM »

Looks like Calaveras to me. I think that was available unbranded and Bicycle.

EvanEssence · « **Reply #19 on:** January 27, 2015, 08:50:14 PM »

Nope...but this is the LE version of a deck released in 2014. Honestly the best shuffling deck out of the box I have played with since I started collecting! I know the pic is blurry, but the number card probably is the best clue in this one.

That deck is Aquila Don.

I may need glasses - but with my glasses, my vision is 20/15! BETTER PHOTOS, PLEASE!

BTW: double-clicking the photo opens it larger and correctly oriented - and you can still zoom in after that. It STILL looks like a blurry mess! Clean lenses can work miracles!

EvanEssence · « **Reply #22 on:** January 28, 2015, 05:58:49 AM »

My wife was extremely abusive to those aquilas right out of the box

Just had to let her vent her frustration on the cards and not me. I've never seen someone shuffle so loudly either!

Here's one of me from last night. Name the deck and game we're playing.

Fess · « **Reply #23 on:** January 28, 2015, 09:37:10 AM »

That's Plugged Nickel there and a deck I don't have anymore. The game hmm I don't know. Possibly it's War.

btw Evan, your photos are fine. I can't see a thing without my glasses and with them I don't see too well. I could distinguish the decks used alright. There's no 20's in my vision neither with nor without my glasses haha.

I don't know how long ago the post was made, those are Seven Seas though. I hope I gave some opportunity between post and my chiming in.

EDIT: Checked time stamp. Looks like I didn't, sorry. I'll give it until the post says yesterday next time.

Haha, it's fantastic Evan. Absolutely more focus on the cards. It's not the machines fault, that's beautiful. We're card guys.

I definitely think it's badass. As I momentarily consider "Should I get a pinball machine?" I remember how expensive my hobbies are and dismiss the notion very quickly. I love the art on your machine, it's got that certain "everything" to it. I hear it scream play with me through the photo and would draw me in like hot knife to butter.

The legs on those as fragile as I imagine they are? Never moved one around.

Fairly strong, made of steel - but not indestructible. The cabinet has a lot of empty space. They're heavy, but not as heavy as you'd think.

I wanna say the bottom one is Medallion, but the back's not quite right.

I have no clue about the top one, although the face looks a bit familiar on that Queen.

Medallion is right...i thought the other deck should've been easy!

The other two decks are Bicycle Vikings, Iron Scale is the green back and Blizzard Wing are the blue grey backs. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun Evan, great choices in decks as usual.

Try cutting it with Sprite or club soda at a mix of either 1:1 or 2:1 (the right-side ones being MD). Good taste you remember, but much less caffeine.
