YES! perfect! now my house of cards can be more than a triangle! i managed to build a 3 level pyramid of cards once, i find that the good old UNO cards are the best for card houses, there's something about their surface that wont let them slip...

Nice.
Green Jelly. I haven't listened to them since I was at school.
Probably because they're not the sort of music that's any good after the first few times, until fifteen years later.

This is neat!
I've only done single depth layers or pyramids before. I'd not thought of doing squares.

It's like Jenga.

About 3 years ago, I made a house of cards (one story) that supported just over 8kg. (It was actually hard to find places for the wieghts) The trick is to do the lean, but instead of using one card on each side, use 7 or more. Then repeat. For the ceiling, put as many cards on as you can, they help distribute the weight for one, but also add enough weight to keep it from falling initally.

There are other ways to make card houses but this is unique with the single vertical cards.

If I did this, it would probably all knock down. But awesome job, if I do it on carpet I might succeed!
