ok one thing i have not let on yet is that i have been making a card game. not worrying about the art just the game play. I wanted to game to be fun to play even if there was no art and the cards were all hand cut from computer paper.

the first alpha tests (scrap paper proxies among friends) were met with quite some success as we all laughed shouted, and refined the rules. i then went back and worked on the rules even more, my thought process was
1: easy to understand so that just about anyone can play
2: fun, quick, fun and fun. you can play it in about 10 mins or several hours if you get more friends together.
3: flexible and expandable. although this is a "play to FUN" game and not a "PAY to win" game i want it to be expandable no i can add more content when i want without having to re-invent everything.

so now that i am ready to try out the next round of rule testing i am going to print out nicer cards with a company i found that does print on demand board and card games.

once there are no more issues with the rules and the game play meets my desires of Fun first, everything else second i will have the first deck available.
