Animal Kingdom Educational Trivia Poker Playing Cards!

[MVPWally]

Hi everyone, my name is Allen, long time lurker of these boards and wanted to show a kickstarter I'm working on:

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/animal-kingdom-educational-trivia-poker-playing-cards/x/5184141

 When your opponent is taking too long, get distracted with our Animal Kingdom Educational Playing Cards! With over 54 unique and separate facts for each suit to learn from, time will fly by while you're waiting your turn.

54 cards in each deck, comes with a card deck box and any custom face cards ordered throughout this kickstarter! This card deck is great for children ages 8 and up.

Animal Kingdom Educational Playing Cards are artistically inspired by Hwa-tu and Hanafuda Eastern playing cards

Please let us know of any questions and we'll reply back to you!

I’m also involved in designing:

Welcome to poster status, Allen.  Wait - if you're name is Allen, why use "MVPWally" as your profile name?  Is Wally your last name?

When you have a moment, post a new topic over at the "Introduce Yourself" board and let the gang get to know you better.

Now, about your cards...

Why did you choose Flexible Funding?  That immediately sets off warning flags around here - few people will fund you if you get flex funding because you can miss your goal, still get your cash, and then what?  There's enough charities out there without adding your deck project to the mix!

What inspired you to choose that name?  Did you know a deck ALREADY EXISTS with that name?  Which was released by a larger company to raise money for a charity?

Basing playing cards on hanafuda cards is a really good idea, but you could easily do that without the "animal kingdom" gimmick.  And drop both the flex funding and IndieGoGo.  There's been exactly one successful playing card project there, and that was only due to the fact that the creator was already well known as a member of the Theory11 staff.  Go Kickstarter or go home.
