Ah, the 90’s. What a time to be alive, unless you were a collectible card game (CCG) trying to chase the success of Magic: The Gathering. If you were, chances are you didn’t last long. Dozens of games and their respective companies ate shit, littering the decade with CCG carcasses. There have been a few hundred of them made since the early 90’s, the large majority lasting a year or two before they decided to go into the Tupperware business or some shit.

Welcome to Dead Decks. We’re Harry & Richard, two cardboard sniffing connoisseurs that are far too contrary to give a damn about the games that actually did well. Pokémon? Yu-Gi-Oh!? Nah. We’d rather crack some packs of Hyborian Gates or run a few games of WCW Nitro. We exclusively review, talk about, ridicule, play, and occasionally actually destroy dead games.

Oh, and we’re re-writing the rules. Literally. When we review a game, we’ll draft a cleaned up version of the rules and make them available as a free download. If we don’t run out of energy or give in to the apathy, our intention is to eventually become the most comprehensive website for dead card games, or to take a nap. One of those.

Don’t take us too seriously. We certainly don’t. Our videos have minimal editing, if any at all. We’re lazy. This site is fully operated and maintained in-house by unknowing fools. We’re not professionals, just two fat bastards who enjoy old cardboard and making fun of just about everything. With a little dumb luck, maybe we can manage to make something that doesn’t suck completely. If we fail miserably, feel free to enjoy ridiculing our crash and burn. Enjoy, or whatever.
