Playing cards... Maybe I should admit this now: it's been an idea that I'd like to craft some time in the future. You know, I'm a freelance printmaker as in secondary job and would like to do this. Coloured woodcut medium on some stiff paper cards or something. But what, or WHO band members - would be the four of kind/colours? Just thinking.

Post by: c on January 11, 2016, 11:45:09 AM: I was given a set of Bond Girl top trumps for Christmas as a joke. Before I could surreptitiously hide the, my seven year old insisted we played a game. Fortunately the categories of Seduction, Brutality, Twisted Mind, Threat to the World, etc were lost on him.

He won.

It's a card game where all cards relate to a particular topic - the first ones I came across in my (distant) youth were cars and you compared various ratings - BHP, Top Speed, Cylinders, Engine Capacity etc. The player with the best score won the cards, and got to call the category for the next card. Winning entailed obtaining all the cards.
