[Rob Wright]

http://kck.st/15FRbzj

Project by: Tyler Shearer
First created, $1,000 goal
$10 per deck, or $100 you get a custom deck with your own questions, or $1,000 your questions on the 2 Jokers for all decks
No mention of printer

"We've all been there, you're on a date and want to get to know someone, but the words just aren't coming. This card game helps."

[Don Boyer]

Never in my life have I seen anyone playing cards on their first date.  If I ever did this while I was single, it would have been my first AND last date.  Anyone nervous enough on a first date that they'd need to resort to these would probably also be too nervous to play cards without looking like an idiot.

There is a decent novelty factor to this, but it's better as a fourth- or fifth-date activity at best, and only if your date enjoys playing cards.  And those questions?  Yikes.  Any questions worth asking, you should have at the tip of your tongue on the first date, not printed on a playing card that you read.  The main thing this project has in its favor is that he's using a cheap printer with a low minimum, 'cause there's no other way he'd be producing and delivering a deck for a mere $1,000.

I would agree that the theme of the deck is a novelty but in practicality, it shouldn't be very usable. The design in itself I think is decent though.

Sure, if you like one-way backs, one-way faces, improperly-centered indices...and what's with the graphics to make it look like an iPhone?  Seriously, it's a so-so gimmick deck, nothing more.  I can't see this getting heavily funded, though it will probably make its very low goal.

I'm waiting for Apple to swoop in and claim copyright infringement, lol

Don't laugh - it could happen.  I've already seen two decks fall before the might of the cease-and-desist letter - one before it funded, one tragically well after.

If I want to play a card game with a date, it will be Cards Against Humanity.

Then we will see how well we'd mesh as a couple.

I'm afraid to ask what "Cards Against Humanity" is...

You would love it. Each round has a black card with a question or a fill-in-the-blanks, e.g. 'What brought the orgy to a grind halt?' or 'The Department of _________ has denied your request due to ________.'

Each player then has to decide which card/cards to answer the question (1 for the first example, 2 for the second) they fill is the best/funniest. These are submitted to the player with the black card, who reads the submitted answers out for everyone, then picks a winner who gets an Awesome Point. First to 10 wins, or whatever the group decide.

Not exactly "date material", bro - at least not if you want to continue dating the same woman...

Depends. If she's got a sick sense of humour as well, she'll probably get into it.

My statement STILL applies...  Think about it...
