Glitch Playing Cards

Glitch: "An electrical pulse of short duration that is usually the result of a fault or design error, particularly in a digital circuit." That's a pretty good way to put it. Thank you, Wikipedia (yes, I donate regularly.) My definition of "glitch" would have been: "When 0s and 1s get Tourette's." And Soleil Zumbrunn went for a visual definition. She explains glitch to the world with GLITCH. GLITCH is a set of meticulously designed playing cards, each of whose classic appearance is interrupted with a unique optical malfunction.
Every one of the 52 cards in a GLITCH deck is different, sporting its own skewed aesthetic in an artistic and eye-catching way, but not one so disarming that players cannot instantly tell which cards they are holding and which suits belong together.
GLITCH was a successfully funded Kickstarter project for Swiss designer Zumbrunn. The cards are now available for all to purchase from everyone's favorite retail middleman/god/pimp, Amazon.

Ka-Bar Snody Crisis Card
The Snody Crisis Card is punched and jagged for a strong grip and maximal impact when you need to defend yourself. And it's finished in a rich anodized blue with gold edge accents for a slick look and flash of intimidation...
Superfight! Card Game
Superfight! instructs us to imagine Cards Against Humanity meets Apples to Apples. For the sake of what comes next, I would add to imagine this meeting takes place in either a dark alley, an octagon, or on opposite ends...

Go F*ck! - Go Fish for Adults (NSFW)
I never was much of a Go Fisher. Unlike War, it just had too many rules to keep track of so I always lost. The same will probably happen with Go F*ck, the "adult" version of the kiddie card game, but I get the sense that...

That's What She Said Game
Oh boy, it's everyone's favorite punchline. Turned into a game that makes you want to say it--scream it!--over and over and over again. All. Night. Long...

Disturbed Friends - The Worst Game Ever Made
Consumer drones? Wearables? Self-driving cars (and -walking shoes)? Nah. I think politically incorrect card-based games that at some point make every person playing them feel extremely uncomfortable or self-conscious...
Happy to See You Naked Card
Ladies, the answer to your age-old question, "What are you thinking about?" has materialized in greeting card format. 78% of the time you query your man about his internal musings, this is the perpetual, 14-word loop...
Go F Yourself Condom Card
I can think of many people to whom I'd like to send a Go F Yourself card (complete with packaged condom for carrying out the act!) but one dude stands out like a glowing beacon bobbing amidst the sea of the rest. How...

Punderdome: A Card Game for Pun Lovers
All puns, all night long at your next bro night? No, dudes, I'm not playing games with your heart. I'm playing games with this deck of Punderdome cards. Interested, ye linguistic manipulators? Ye nimble thinkers? Ye word...

Carps & Angsty Manatee
I don't know if Carps & Angsty Manatee is the best unofficial expansion set for Cards Against Humanity, but having played with it last weekend, I can attest to its being a damn good one. It's also a loaded deck, with...
USB Metal Business Cards
Here's another idea that could have been mine if I had better ideas: laser-engraved business cards with USB drives. For storing resumes and cover letters. Portfolios of design work, writing, and music. Company sales pitches...

Check All That Apply Cards
Business cards, like hand gestures, are great ways of communicating. A card reminds a new acquaintance of your name. A potential client of your job title. A hot chick of your phone number. And here, with the interactive...
Business Knife - Multi-Tool Business Card
Just when I thought multi-tools had begun their demise from popular interest (along with mustaches, bacon, and zombies), Kiwi Anthony Cole comes up with the Business Knife. I wonder if constantly getting compared to and...
