Hello everyone!
My name is Robin and I am originally from Sweden, but have lived many years in Japan.
I am a game enthusiast who enjoys everything from classic board games to Dungeons & Dragons, but among everything else card games have always had a very special place in my heart. I played a lot with my family as a child, and nowadays whenever I get the opportunity to travel to the other side of the world and meet my parents, playing cards is usually what we tend to occupy our time with.
The games I grew up with are foremost Oh Hell and Canasta, and they have stayed my favorites to this day.
My major is Japanese comics, but I like to draw all kind of illustrations and hope to eventually become able to draw and design various things for a living. If you are interested in my art you are very welcome to visit my homepage at
https://www.robinlindstrom.comThe reason I found this forum is because I have designed an own deck of cards and am currently having a Kickstarter campaign in order to try getting it founded. I will make a separate topic about the project in the Design & Development section. My intention of joining is not merely to show off my design, but I also hope to get some valuable feedback from experienced card players. Hopefully this is only the first deck I create, and I will make sure to take any advice I get in consideration for future projects.
I am also looking forward to find new card games to try out. I am especially interested in games that are rather complex and require much strategy, instead of just relying on luck (of which I have none). In addition, when designing my own cards I learnt about the concepts of "Man with the axe" and "One eyed Jacks" etc. I would like to learn more about how the attributes of these cards are used in some games.
