You know for poker? This is my first try at a 54 card standard deck. For the most part the cost is the value of the number card, with the exception for legendary creatures that represent the faces. Many of the colors don't have a 10 cost card at all let alone old border so those have X in the cost instead. The Jesters are obviously the Jokers.

I don't think I'm particularly clever, but I wasn't able to find anyone else talking about making one of these. They have a few old products that are literally poker decks with magic backs, but I wanted to have a deck full of my favorite eras of the art of my childhood. Not just the novelty of a card back.

You could definitely build a cheaper deck by using more modern cards, but what I'd love to know is what else you'd do differently. Legends for the face cards is easy to remember, but clunky until you are familiar with who is what. Plus having to read that far down the card to tell if it's a legend kinda gives away that you probably have face cards, but that also opens the door to bluffing. Plus I'd like to imagine most people would be flipping through their hand admiring the art.

Ultimately this deck is for an RPG my friend wants to run where the players all have their own deck of cards. So for that job it's not as big of a deal, but if I build this thing physically I'm going to want to use it everywhere. lol

Her name is Paint, and she recently murdered her mother. Mork Borg is crazy.

V always loves playing with Percy. Percy usually would prefer a nap. lol

I caught them in some mischief.

I managed to snag some plastic sheet from the trash at work, and glued down a printable track from a Cars 3 playset. It fits the feel of the mushroom kingdom so well. I'm still trying to figure out how best to seal the paper sides with how flexible the plastic sheet can be.

I've got most of the terrain on hand painted waiting for a re-up from my buddy with a printer.

11 unique racers with most of my personal favorites. I had debated gaslandsing them up a little, but the plan was Mario Kart as a demo game for local stores and cons. So I figured the less chopping and painting and glueing I do the longer it will last. Although I am considering changing the wheels out for a more rugged look(and glued I to place so they don't roll everywhere). You can also swap drivers with a security screw!

The good part of recreating a popular video game is there are plenty of assets to print. Waiting is the hardest part. Then painting. That's the order, waiting is the hardest part and painting comes in second.

And Beans!
