Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Don't Cry (Alternate Lyrics) By Guns N' Roses

For $8 you get a deck of cards . . . that looks cool . . . and has some other stuff . . . but you could've figured that out by reading the ad copy.

It's a deck of cards for Pete's sake. What can you say about it? Well as it turns out, there are a couple points worthy of discussion.

First, if you're a deck collector, get it. Don't even bother reading my review. Just go buy this deck. Everything that comes with the deck is outlined in the ad copy. You can watch the trailer to see if you like the look and feel of the deck.

The cards are created by the Bicycle peeps, so you know they're great quality. They handle well and are very smooth. The images on the deck are beautifully rendered . . . a bit macabre, but still beautiful.

If you have a need for some well designed, aesthetically pleasing and slightly macabre cards, you're at the right place. I think the images and style do lend themselves to some interesting presentations. Additionally, the cards look very much like they're from a different time and maybe even a different world.

This makes them more interesting to me. It enables various presentation angles, and could lead to some great plots and story lines. That will have to be up to your imagination because for $8 you get a deck of cards . . . that looks cool . . . and has some other stuff . . . but you could've figured that out by reading the ad copy.

Final Verdict:
5 stars with a Stone Status of Gem.
