My guys just love it and have been having a great time reading all the information that comes on each card...well and to have a playing card with their daddy on it...that makes it even more meaningful!

Wow! Without having tried the game (yet) it seems to be inspired a lot by the Lord of the Rings TCG and to a lesser degree by Magic: The Gathering.
Thanks for the link. I'm a gamer so I'll try this out next time my gaming group comes together.

Edit: Speaking of games, does anyone know if "Mush" (board game) is still in production?

This is awesome. Wish I was still teaching. You should get this to the ITC Education Committee! If you haven't already!

This is really cool my son needs all the math practice he can get! Has anyone downloaded this game yet? How long does it take? I have dial-up so figure it would take quite a while.....I really want to do this though!

I've downloaded it. I've got a really fast connection so I had it down in a matter of seconds. Don't know how long it would take on DU - not too long, i think, because it's only a few megabytes. Haven't tried the game yet, though.

even if you dont use them to play with they are still just a lovely set of cards, they look great and you should maybe look into marketing them as a school educational idea. bet the bssd kids would love to play and i bet they would be come sort after collectors items for fans too!

OH Motorwerk I'm jealous :mrgreen: :lol:

I clicked on it last night while I read the site (about 5mins) and I didn't want to hang out there any longer so just ended it...maybe I'll try again today when I have more time. How many cards are there?
