Hi,
Just to share a simple joy with you and the rest of the world : I originally thought about designing my game using cards (because I have hundreds of them leftover from a contest and they are so nice to draw with aprehension, fan out, fold, pick, or slam) and later changed my mind for something cheaper to produce, like plain pdf printed paper and tokens.

And that's it. Have a good day !

Right now, I am thinking about cute colorful index card rings, and no pen. On the rules, a link to a candy sweet site with FAQs and stuff. This way I've got a loss leader product at less than 2$ that's not losing me money and doesn't take space on friendly gameshop counters. I am probably being The Milkmaid with Her Pail here. But the fun I foresee in designing poker size foldable leaflet rules and attaching dozens of them to key rings will be well worth it.
