Yeah, great to play with ... especially if you don't have 20/20 vision. Horrible execution.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

"LOL" indeed.

Title did not disappoint.

I think I may pull the trigger on my Binary Code playing cards after seeing this. I mean, they will be just as user-friendly! Or maybe my Morse Code deck? This gives me hope. :lol:

I don't want to have to think when using cards. :ugdance:
Move on, nothing to see here.

Interesting idea, bad execution. Yeah, it'll be good to use as flash cards for kids who go to Chinese schools and have to learn to use an abacus! :lol:

But rookie designers forget that what looks good on your screen, doesn't translate well in a standard playing card. Not only do I have to count the value of the card carefully, I have to squint at the image. Ok, for those with good eyesight, not so good for the rest of us.

However, this designer shows promise. The back design is decent , but then again, compared to what we have seen recently, anything average looks good! Still can't see much of the Abacus in the back.

If s/he keeps working at it, there could be a good deck in the future
