Yeah, I remember reading about that earlier this year. Endless Games continues the tradition of game show board games. Excited for it. May have to nab a copy.

Of ugly ones. They're not exactly "celebrating the 40-year history of the game show" if it's "all new art." The box is awful, and judging by the 7, the deck looks even worse.

I remember their version from the 90s as being far better even with the Pat Bullard show logo.

I think the Bullard logo is actually spot on for a show like Card Sharks- wouldn't have minded one bit if the McHale version used that version.

Not really feeling the box or font choices on it. I would get it if this were 1991, and you wanted to make your box stand out on a toy store shelf, but this seems like a prototype box, not a finished one.

Everything inside looks nice- definitely appreciate the card efforts, since the easy route would be to just pack in two generic decks.
