2 decks of the permaculture playing cards!

While these are fully functional poker cards, their primary purpose is to show people the rich diversity of permaculture. Permaculture embraces gardening well beyond organic, plus natural building, greening the deserts, alternative energy, feeding the world and blazing a trail for less toxic living.

These cards were created with the idea of "what would be a great holiday gift that I could give to my friends and family that thinks my permaculture lifestyle is crazy. Something they would enjoy, and that might make me seem less crazy and it's a stocking stuffer too!"

52 poker size playing cards introduce sustainable living as a gift to organic gardeners, including cards for:
  • Sepp Holzer, Bill Mollison, Ruth Stout, Masanobu Fukuoka, Mike Oehler, Art Ludwig
  • Greywater, Rocket Mass Heater, Hugelkultur, Bamboo, Allan Savory, Willie Smits, Fungi, Jean Pain
  • Natural Swimming Pool, Chickens, Pigs, Ben Law, Electric Tractor, Honey Bees, Mason Bees, Trees
  • Food Preservation, Compost, Wildcrafting, Food as Medicine, Food Forest, Solar Food Dehydrator

    Hmmm, that sort of thing happened when someone wanted to order two of my dragons, rather than one. There's gotta be a way to fix it, though.

    I tried something, but adding "upgrade" options. I can't see them, though, because I haven't purchased this. Could you post a screenshot of the "upgrade" options, if they exist? There should be one for both US and Non-US shipping, at the same price as they were listed originally. Does it show up like that for you?

    Thank you for checking and for catching this glitch. I've got our developer looking into this right now. If you would like to purchase them now, I sent you a PM with a link to paypal Paul directly and he'll get them mailed out to you, if you'd like.

    Speaking of great holiday gifts, are the decks associated with last winter's Kickstarter going to be sent out in time for this year's holiday? Sorry if this is the wrong thread for that question...

    The best place to ask that is the private SKIP kickstarter support forum, but I'm thinking that the cards and the SKIP book would get mailed out together, because otherwise the shipping would be too expensive. I know that Paul and the Bernal brothers are working hard and fast on the book, but I highly doubt it'll be printed and mailed by Christmas, sadly.

    My love for these cards is more then my hate of using Paypal and all they represent!! I will try to get through my day with the guilt of caving to the man(PayPal) that froze Canadian Truckers accounts when they were practicing their right to peacefully protest! I'm hoping Permies will understand and think about dropping this company, who doesn't believe in our right to express our dissatisfaction with the Government and to change things and live the way we choose. Rant over!

    I bought a deck on Amazon.

    They could be just a bit bigger or have a larger font.

    Played a game with a dozen people and I don't think anyone read the cards =/

    I like them though. 8/10 acorns.

    If there is a card in there advertising a printer, you have a pirate deck.

    If it's not too late may I please change my order to 6 decks for $100.00?  I've decided to give a couple of decks away. Jeff

    Place your order for six and I will stop the shipping on the other order.

    I still have not received the package of 6 decks of playing cards.  I checked and they were paid for on December 12th with my PayPal account.  Is it possible to get them by February 18th so I can pass them out at a get-together we're having at our farm? Thank you.  Sincerely,  Jeff

    Jeffrey,

    I found your order and I don't see a tracking number.  I asked the shipper to send and to also include some better world books to make up for the booboo.

    I'm wondering how this thread (the one one linked below) fits in for those of us who bought the playing cards. I can't read it; it just tells me it will be offered at some point:
    permaculture playing cards e-book download

    I get the impression it's just the cards again, but am wondering if it is, instead, a book about what games one can play with them. That's what I would like clarification on.

    Thank you.

    Yes, it's a .pdf with beautiful images of the cards.

    One can play with this set any game that is played with regular cards.

    We're sorry, we don't have that option at this time. Maybe purchase two and give one as gift?
     
    I don't like that guy. The tiny ad agrees with me.
