The designs from the America deck are stunning.

Each one of the Harley Davidson cards has a different historical tidbit.

    I am seriously jealous of your Scooby Doo cards. With a collection like that, you could do some fun mix and match. Look up a card game by the name of "King Mao". It features 5 decks and some seriously twisted memory rules. It also goes by the name "Mao". There is a variation where the winner of the round gets to create a new rule. Those work well with interesting cards. After about ten rounds, it is nearly impossible to play a clean hand without laughing.

    Funny you should mention that game. At school during study hall I hun out in the band room, where lots of people were; I'd ask what game they wanted to play and many of them mentioned mao--and then said "no!" "it takes too long..." etc. but everyone laughed when mentioning it. I'll try it sometime :)
