Problems with Design

The fact that the cards open means that people want to open them so I need to find another way to have the info.

Design Precedents

After printing the cards and them not turning out great at all, I went to look aye other card games and the styles they went with to find inspiration. Cards Against Humanity is an easy place to go to first, a very popular card game using very simple black and white cards. It says the card game on the back of the card which is a good idea.  The Metagame is only the same game play lines as Cards Against Humanity but more colourful and involves pictures and has no image or text for the backs of the cards. I really like the line art images that bring together the answers. I'm thinking I could use images for the questions or the inside? Also this game has a website which I would like to incorporate into my design.

Draft cards

After printing this draft set of cards I found that they were far too dark and flat. The characters didn't do anything for them and neither did the lighter boxes around the text. I decided to scrap this look completely and start again.
