If I had to make a card game about my favorite boxing star, I would name it Book'em Deck.

There would be books of yellow, books of blue, books of red, and so on. There would be one deck for all colors, but yellow would have it's own book, red would have it's own, and so on. Two players would try to out score eachother by pulling from one deck. Both players would take turns pulling from the deck until there are no more cards. They might choose the color yellow to start making a book. Each yellow card would have a number. Both players would add up all of their points from the yellow cards which would be a book in their hand. Whoever has the highest score is the one that would win the yellow book as a whole. The players would do this for every color. Whoever wins the most books would be the winner of the game.

My father has always been a card game player. He loves to play Spades. I guess that I can say that he is part of my artistic inspiration on this card.

 

Back in the old days, me, my father, and brother played UNO. My mother would get on my case about school work because I was so into the game. It seemed that I could never beat my father. I did not want to leave the table until I could beat him. He would play a mind game with me. My father would tease me so bad about loosing. My mother made me quit the game and told me enough was enough. However, oneday, me and my brother started whipping him bad. We filled his hand up with the whole deck almost. That is how I came up with the name, Book'em Deck.

 

Whenever I look at this card design, I think of Laila and her father, and me and my father. A game is just a game, and it is for fun. A sport is just a sport, and there can be competition. It's all good when it's all over. With love, a daughter is still a daughter and a father is still a father.
