Description:

Rounds 1-4 have been a BLAST, so I'm going for a fifth time. Come on, join the fun!

Are you trying to create a deck of cards that are from 52 different decks, with 52 different designs on them? Or do you create ATCs using playing cards? Or are you into altering books or other items where a playing card would be a cool item to add to your ephemera collection? If so, here's a fun way to add to your stash or ongoing deck.

Here's what you do. Find 3 different decks of cards - they may be missing a few cards, or purchase some cool decks from special places in your locale (I found some yesterday at Goodwill). Let's keep them standard size, not tiny or huge (around 2.5 X 3.5). No BICYCLE/red or blue backed cards, please.

Send THREE of those cards, one from each different deck, to five different partners. Make sure all three have different designs. That way we can make up our own decks more quickly.

Some of us that have been doing this awhile have added a list of cards that would finish up our decks onto our profile. However, this is a "pot luck" type of swap. Checking profiles is great, thoughtful, etc, but not required.

Let's Play Cards!

I'll angel any flakers!

I'm so excited to do this again, I have one full deck and some toward a second (listed in my profile - if you're my partner)

Me, too! I've found three decks of really cool cards since the last swap, and I can't wait to share!

To my partners if you are able I have a list on my profile of the cards I am still looking for. I plan on using the cards I receive to make a piece of art for the area of my office where I store all my board games. Thanks

Even though it hasn't been required for this swap, it's a good idea to check the profles. Getting cards in your dislikes isn't fun!
