Title: Hello everyone
Post by: alrdenver82 on October 06, 2019, 11:26:25 AM
Hi, I'm from Denver and I have been lately doing more to sell vintage and rare sealed casino playing cards, or other kinds of vintage Bicycle cards, anything old enough to have had a tax stamp on it.  I joined this forum because I want to be more informed of what I have since these cards vary in price from as cheap as 2 to 3 dollars and up to hundreds of dollars.

Also I was curious if anyone knew of a forum where people share rules to card games they invented, I have seen pagat.com but it's updated only so many times.  Anyway, glad to be here.

Hi alrdenver82,

I'd love to find the forum you're describing if it exists. The best I could find are facebook groups related to individual card game games like bridge and ptich and groups for designers who mainly are not making variations of traditional deck indices. A sub-group of that are designers who get the word out about their games via 'print and play' groups where the card game makers provide players with a pdf that can be printed and played at home for free.

Best,
Mike

Pagat's a good site, but I know that USPC also has a few game rules up on their site - and there's a free app you can download for iOS that has game rules in it.

Ask Ender'sGame - he does a lot of card and game reviews and likely knows of nook and crannies online where you can find rules for card games.

And of course...you could always invent your own!  Look on this forum for two games I uploaded, games that I learned about forty or so years ago from one of the inventors - "Ninety-Nine" and "Shrinkdumfunnybuster".
