My Detestable Day!

It's here!

One (incredibly long,) week and a day after placing an order, my game has turned up from "The Game Crafter"

The results are mixed, and interesting... heres the first stage of the unboxing:

This part was more or less what I expected.
The game ships in an envelope, its box is just a plain white card board box, (comic store/card store clerks of the world will recognize this as a standard cardboard card box, about a 500 count I think.)
Their are no bells and whistles, its plain and functional and contains all your bits.

Ok, heres where it gets interesting.
The print job is very nice and all my cards are present and accounted for.
The card backs are just as designed, and the contrast is actually a little stronger than I aimed for, which is so much better than if it had gone the other way!

A few minor niggles with the end result:

• The safe zone, (area that shouldn't be effected by the cut out,) might be a little less safe than I thought. This if more than likely me being reckless in my set up, and nothing to do with Thegamecrafter.com
• They printed my rules in black and white. This is a bit of a drag, my rules don't really need colour but a few of the helpful diagrams would be clearer if they weren't printed in black and white.
• The sticker they give you for the box is tiny and black and white. Once again, I didn't expect wonders with the packaging, but is colour that much more expensive? I would have paid for it too!
• I wonder if their punch/cutter has dulled a bit since they got it, as their are some nicks and scratches in the print finish around the edges of the cards.
• I'm really uncertain how well these will hold up to multiple plays... once again, this is my wonderings, not a fault of gamecrafter, and is totally unfounded at this point.

So yeah, there it is, the detestable deck, and the more i look at it, the more i could see this cleaned up as a marketable item.

Oh, and for more images and so forth, look here:
