HAHAHAHA I will destroy this puny card game buy copying the card pic and adding my own profile pic and stats!!!!!! Then I just have to print on glossy photo paper, round the edges with a paper trimmer, scan the finished result, and repost the scan as my avatar!!!!! Or I could just buy a deck for 15 bucks.... yeah lets go with that. (seriously tho would I get in trouble for making my own card similar to these for personal use?)

 (this is on step 4) What is US dollars will it be for the "nicest" set of cards?

also, what is the difference between 50, 100, and 200 cards? Is there more types of cards or are the extras cards just copies of the first 50?

can it "ship" to america?

can i buy it somewhere?

[Jayefuu]

That was just some notes that wont be in the finished version of this instructable. The set (101 cards) will be $13-$15 including postage, still to be determined, but it'll be as cheap as it can. Yes it will ship world wide. The difference between 50, 100 and 200 were the amount of packs we buy from the printers.

You can't buy it yet we're still working on it. Hopefully you'll see it on the front page when we're done :)

[KnexFreek]

 Ok sounds awesome! So, in the instructable, will you have a pic of each card in the deck ? :)

[Jayefuu]

So you can print your own? :p No. There might be a pdf available after we've sold the batch we pay for.

[KnexFreek]

 NO!!! i just wanted to be in the ible, on a card :)

[Tom Buckey]

Can people from Britian buy them?
and how much will they be?

[Jayefuu]

Yup! They'll most likely be shipping from near Sheffield :)

[Tom Buckey]

Any Idea or the price?

[Jayefuu]

Should know in a few days. What're you offering? :p

[Tom Buckey]

what am I offering for them? As-in how much would I pay?

[Jayefuu]

Yup.

[Tom Buckey]

about £3-£4. A bit more than the usual price of them.
BTW did you get my inbox?

[Kiteman]

This deck has three times the number of cards of an official Top Trumps deck - basing prices on typical TT packs, this game would be equivalent value at £10-£12 for the full 101-card deck.

[Jayefuu]

I think for your instructions Kiteman it might be good for 2 player games to split the pack in half then deal one half between 2. Otherwise it'll last FOREVER!

[scoochmaroo]

Kiteman's suggestion seems like a totally reasonable price for something this unique.

[Jayefuu]

It's just as well we're looking at prices just under kiteman's suggestion then isn't it :D (incl postage)

[Lithium Rain]

My sister and I once, when small, played top trump for approximately 2 hours before we gave up trying to end the game "legally". XD

[Kryptonite]

That's how my family's monopoly games go after 10.

[Kiteman]

I'll re-think - I was expecting around thirty cards in the deck, like Top Trumps.

[Tom Buckey]

101 cards would be great if I may say so myself.
I think having 30 would suck because it would only be admins and the best of the best, you need varaity.

[Jayefuu]

Yup :)
