Project by: Hurlyburly Games
First created, $9,100 goal, $11 earlybird,- Standard $14 for 1, $25 for 2

"A re-imaging of the standard deck of playing cards to try and reflect human diversity."
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

There's been a number of attempts at making such a deck.  They never really gained any traction.  When you factor in the cost of a custom deck these days, anywhere from $5-$10 from major companies and $10-15 from KS, you need an idea that's BIG, beautiful and well-made.  You could even get away with only two of the three, in a pinch.  I'm not sure this has it.

Well, it has been 24 hours, and they're 1/10th of the way to their goal.

It's an interesting concept, and it will be interesting to see what happens.

Dude, the horse is not only dead, it's been flayed of all flesh and the bones have been crushed to dust...  Better to let each do their own thing and leave it be.

Maybe so Don, but it made me laugh.
