I agree with that part, just like Max' Metal deck was a big exception to their usual.

I'm wondering why there's no green for libertarians and brown for tea party people. The three decks just seems forced.

I would choose blue tuck over red because I like blue better. The normal reminds me of the Federal 52 tuck. I also agree this should be one tuck with more red and blue on it.

FYI Obama, like all presidents since FDR, has and will only serve a maximum of 2 terms, 4 years each.

BTW I wonder who the jokers will be...

Oops my mistake! Thanks for catching that.

All different over here - you elect the party rather than the individual, then the Prime Minister is then appointed. (officially by the monarch, but in practice by committee/election within the party)
Because the party is elected, there are no term limits for individual prime ministers.

Not to get too far off track, but technically speaking a person can serve as president for three terms or twelve years if they were elected vice president and assumed the role of president through succession (president dies, VP becomes president) for the first term. As they were not directly elected to the position of president they'd still be eligible for another two terms.

William Harrison died just 32 days into his Presidency from pneumonia.

That is quite out of this world.

Oh stop, I don't believe you for one second. As soon as this opens up with a "all 3 decks for $12" EB tier, you'll be on it like a cheap whore.

It's now live, I like the deluxe embossed one.



Gold deck unlocked at $60K

"Full color US flag inside tuck design (Deluxe embossed version only)"

GOODNEWS !! If you hate the print inside as much as me, the standard versions come without them !

Oh, yay! There are 8 variants, now. Everybody pony up $100 - for starters.

I count 4 if the Gold deck is unlocked. Is there something I'm missing or did sarcasm fly a few feet over me?

Not to get too much further off track, but the maximum number of years that any one person can serve as President is 10 years. If an individual serves more than two years of a term left vacant by his/her predecessor, he/she can only run for one additional election cycle.

Also, an individual is not eligible to run for Vice-President if they are not otherwise eligible to be President, so you can't sneak in by serving eight years, then running for VP and then have the President resign or otherwise vacate the Presidency. (This point is debated, however, and has never been ruled upon by the courts.) A quick overview is available on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-sec ... nstitution.

I haven't looked at the campaign - but figured each color was available as standard and LE.

If not, it's 4?

Ah I didn't know about the 2 year stipulation on the succession term thanks for the info, mate. Damn public school education only glancing over the important stuff. Guess I should've actually read the 22nd Amendment. Did know about not being eligible for the role as VP, but you have to wonder, can a termed out former president hold any position in the line of succession? I know it's nearly impossible but they do always have the designated succession person during things like the State of the Union speech when everyone is in the same spot. I believe it was the Transportation Secretary during the last SOTU.

Whats sad though is I find the actual constitution and this side discussion more interesting than these playing cards, regardless of the flavour they come in.

Gold deck going to have new queens?

They should have just put out just the embossed and gold tucks without the red and blue ones.

Agreed.
