Hi there – thanks for the feedback, I was glad to put your cards to use! I was just thinking of illustrating the post with a regular pack of cards, it was only when I went through my drawers that I rediscovered the deck (which I think I purchased from you at the Web and Mini Comix Thing some time ago). I realised it was really quite the perfect set of illustrations for the job!

Funnily enough, at the Sandpit event that kicked this whole line of reasoning off I did actually play a variant of Liar’s Dice – I’ll touch on that in part 3 of this series.

Thanks for stopping by!
