Playing cards

One of the fun diversions I have had in my time was making playing cards. I did a whole chapter in my biography on this.

My playing card design site https://www.me.uk/cards allows you to make a wide variety of cards. It is a fun little system I set up long ago.

However it has come up lately for a few reasons.

For a start I made some cards for the pub, on Amazon. Please buy some.

But also some error reports I had - some edge cases made bad cards. And making the cards for the pub meant I wanted custom card backs which it did not allow.

So I have updated. New features...

• Fixed a bug making some size cards mess up court cards.
• Upload custom artwork (PDF) for backs.
• Upload custom artwork (PDF) for jokers.
• Maze and arrows backs are more random, each deck is different (obvious all cards the same back in each deck - but every deck we make is unique).
• Tidied the options to be clearer.
• Added an option for a second set of aces to be included.

The last point was one I pondered. We make some unique decks, with an "11", or a "0" or "1" card, which is unusual. But actually what may sell better is a deck with a second set of aces, to have, well, "up your sleeve". So why not.

I have added custom ace of spades now too.
