Hey I'm out of town for a couple months, but totally have some friends that I'd like to play this with. Is it possible to purchase a revision?

Besides getting the cards I'd like to make a donation to you and Coagulation. Do you have a website, or blog or something to give the card game a home? If you have a paypal donation I'd be happy to contribute

It isn't possible to purchase a revision quite yet, but I will add you to my list of Alpha testers.

The website will eventually be hosted at http://www.manaspirits.com

I can't speak for Coagulation, but from my side, if you'd like to make a donation I would ask that you hold off until I launch the crowdfunding campaign please.

This is so sick. I think a handful of my friends back home would love to try it when it's ready for it's first public release.

Must be a huge amount of work to do all the artwork, huge props to Coag

For mailing lists I can tell you from marketing experience that mailchimp is worth it. Besides it working really good it's support is amazing too.

Looks good. The game has enough similarities to magic to appeal to a lot of people, but simple enough to pick up easily for a drinking game. Although saying that, the look might be close enough to magic to warrant a cease and desist. Hopefully not.

The only qualm I have with the art style is that on some of the cards it's just too heavily washed with one colour and loses something in that. I saw a couple cards that were basically all red, and to me that was very jarring. The eye needs somewhere to relax, there needs to be some quiet space, or some sort of contrast to the art somewhere in the card. Maybe just simplifying the texture in the border could help? I'm not sure.

Either way I think it's amazing that you've done this, even delaying it so long. I think most people (myself included) would have just dropped it with such a long break/delay. I'd love to see you keep posting! I think a lot of people on TL like seeing what you're up to.

Im gonna experiment with reducing the saturation on many of the cards and raising contrast to get a less washed feel.

Looks amazing, if you need some more alpha testing I've got a bunch of friends who are dying to try this over a couple of saturday nights. Absolutely splendid job Chill and that artwork is the shit from Coag, really well done. Got me hyped! Really glad to see this is still going since it's been a fun project from the start.

With regards to your legal question, I'd simply add on a box the age it's ment to be played from and slap on a disclaimer (on the box, not inside of it). You can always instruct retailers/yourself to not sell to people under the legal drinking age. Plus inside of the box you might add a folder which explain the hazards of drinking/instructs in responsible drinking. This way you'd a) make it very clear what the intended audience is, b) disclaim possible damages (be careful if you ship to other countries that this might not be possible to disclaim/different legal drinking ages), c) age restrictions on selling/retailing is prudent and shows consideration and dilligence on your part, d) adding a folder might be super over the top but it's a great final step to show that you are aware of the dangers and have warned the users by any reasonable means at your disposal.

Offcourse I'd add another folder on how to mix some awesome special mana drinks (potions/elixers) for this game! :D With a conversion chart offcourse, say 4 drinks (beer ounces wise) can be replaced by one drink: demonblood elixer (create some crazy mix drink). Fun stuff to add some spice to the "drinks" aspect of the game!
