A real card game · shipped 2020

Q Cards

A trivia card game I made. It was a failed Kickstarter that I loved too much to let go of.

The story

The Kickstarter didn't fund. I made it anyway.

Q Cards was going to be my tidy Kickstarter success story. It wasn't. The campaign came up short and didn't fund.

But by then I had fallen for the thing. The format, the feel of the deck, the way it played at a table. So I went ahead and ordered the decks anyway, out of my own pocket, a little into debt, because I wanted it to exist in the world. It shipped in 2020. It's real, and it's a genuinely good time.

The original Kickstarter pitch. It didn't fund, but here's where it all started.

Get one

Get a deck.

Grab the deck for $30, cover $5 shipping, and I'll do the rest. I pack and mail every order myself, so it comes from me to you. Continental US for now. In Alaska, Hawaii, or outside the US, email me and we'll sort it out.

Try the deck

Guess the year.

Tap the card to see the year

Play right now: Decades

No deck needed. Use the card above and play a round of Decades right here, on your own or with whoever's nearby. It's perfect for the group that doesn't really want to play a game, but then kind of does.

  1. Read the event on the card above. Don't reveal the year yet.
  2. Everyone calls out the decade they think it happened. Playing solo? Just lock in your own guess.
  3. Feeling confident? Name the exact year for extra bragging rights.
  4. Tap the card to reveal the year.
  5. Right decade? Give yourself a point. Keep a running tally of how many you get.
  6. Tap again for the next card. First to 3 points wins, or see how long a streak you can run on your own.
