Description:

This swap is more like a game then a normal swap.

So, who wants to play postcard poker?!

Here's what ya do:

  • Get a postcard. ( Store bought. Senders choice. )

  • Get a deck of cards.

  • Take out 3 cards from the deck. Three totally random cards. No Jokers. 2 - Ace only. Include the suit. ( club [c], spade [s], diamond [d], heart [h] )

  • On the back of your postcard, you are going to write down the 3 cards you pulled from the deck, but write them in a creative way. Be interesting, but make sure they can still read their cards.

  • MESSAGE ME WITH THE HAND YOU PULLED FOR YOUR PARTNER ASAP. Please write it down somewhere in case I need to contact you. This makes the process easier and quicker. IF YOU DONT MESSAGE ME WITH THE CARDS YOU PULLED you will be taken out of the running for the prize.

  • Send your postcard in a TIMELY fashion, as this is a game, not just a swap, they depend on getting your postcard!

  • Once you get your postcard, message me the THREE CARDS you were assigned. I will not assign the 4th and 5th card until everyone is marked down with a hand.

  • Once the swap date has been reached, I will take a deck of cards, and pull TWO cards for each person, finishing their hand. I will then post the list to the comments and announce the winner.

IF you have not gotten your postcard and you feel your should have by now, PLEASE message me. Hopefully, your partner has already messaged me your hand. If not, I will draw your cards for you.

CARDS WILL BE ASSIGNED AND POSTED TWO WEEKS AFTER THE SWAP HAS ENDED. This gives all the postcards time to get to their destinations.

"But what will the winner of this super awesome game win??" you ask?

See that dino up there in the swap picture ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ , well, you win one of those! The winner will pick two basic colors, and I'll make a custom dinorawr and ship it off to them! ( more can be seen about it HERE . )

The rules:

No fresh in the gate Newbies. You must have at least 10 swaps between your type 2 and type 3 swaps. You must have a well filled out profile.

ABSOLUTELY NO 1's or 3's in the last 6 months! I do not want to take the chance of someone not getting their hand.

Please message me with ANY questions that you have.

Again:

  • one postcard.
  • send 3 cards written creatively on back of postcard.
  • Send me a message with the hand you pulled for your partner.
  • message me with 3 cards when you receive your postcard.

** This is USA only. **
