A little surprised the backs aren’t more of a coffee color, other than that the cards I see are mostly common knowledge vs some type of deep dive…

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.

Based on the current trajectory, I don't see these funding, but I backed it along with adding on the previously created beer, money, and weed decks as a means to show my support.

There’s been a lot of coffee decks. This may be a saturated theme.

I'd recommend letting your thoughts brew on this one. Perhaps you'll reconsider, perhaps you might not. The climb to get this funded is rather steep. Hopefully I'm not roasting the creator by saying that.

This is too clever for me to compete with. Well done.

Never understood all the decks that really should be books. Are you going to play a game or read the cards?

These are great for games in large groups ad overthinkers where the game comes to a grinding halt. You can always brewse thru your cards while waiting for your turn. :D

The only thing I'm a little let down by are the backs, they just don't match the rest of the cards imo.

I would have even preferred the classic double-logo treatment (forgive this hasty mockup I made for my own amusement)

No that bottom cup defying gravity looks wrong to me - prefer the chosen back except for the central bean
