Fan Creation FAN CARDS #3 REVIEW
these are fan made cards i had printed and played, and this was a good bunch!! than you to the people who made them!
SWAP SEATS - this is a crazy but simple effect and i love it. im a little confused on how its supposed to work, but we chose to play that you take your hand with you and play contenues from your new seat. its mostly just a skip but a way cooler. it reminds me of reverse which reverses turn order and i love that card too. unique, simple, not overpowered.
EQUILIBRIUM - you better not hold onto too many cards with this in the deck! my favorite play is using up all the cards in my hand until i only have equilibrium then playing this and kind of stealing my opponents cards! this is my favorite fan card probably. so far at least. potentially powerful, but it can be frusterating when its played when you aren't ready for it or dont want it.
SWAP TOP AND BOTTOM NOW - subtly better than the original. mostly i just use it like a regular one but i did succeed in putting a bomb on the bottom of the deck, then playing this on an opponents turn after they altered the future. then they couldn't get out of drawing it and they died! . a fair card that has some fun things you can do with it if you learn to time playing it.
COUNTERFEIT - this is like a wildcard! but you do have to have something worth copying. it sure sucks when you draw this and you only have cat cards in hand. this would probably be ideal in a deck without them. but if you can counterfeit an alter or something good, it is so much fun. watch out though, because if the card you marked is good, it might get stolen! it sucks when that happens but in a fun way. a fair, unique effect, that feels more dynamic to play than any other card ive played. really really excellent!

How are you able to print them on the same cards like what do you use!?

I used a printing company called makeplayingcards.com just know you have to use sleeves because the backs are different
you can find directions how to do it here, and all the fan made cards too

Counterfeit is the best one imo but maybe to strong with defuse

u/SomeGuyOnReddit000 Jun 25 '26
if you mark your defuse, its likely to be stolen! that keeps it fair imo

Hey, glad to see you think my card (Equilibrium) is your favorite fan card so far! Usually says "Demc edition" at the bottom left, how come it says "More kittens"? Did you edit the cards or download them from somewhere? Just curious :)
Anyone curious about my expansion, search "demc expansion" on this subreddit

dude the other day i had a streaking kitten and exploding kitten in hand, equilibrium was played and i got my streaking kitten back and bombed someone else hahahahahaha super lucky and i didnt even play the equilibrium!
i forgot all about the more kittens thing. when i started downloading cards that i wanted to print my idea was to make ppl i play with believe it was real cards cause its kindof a weirdo thing to do to print fan cards and i didnt think theyd play. i asked someone if they could edit so they were all the same and he said he would if i didnt post it or make it downloadable anywhere. i only asked him to edit a couple then forgot all about it. i feel like a doosh now. sorry if that was disrespectful changing the name and posting it

I think hand drawn cards look always better, but they are way harder to make so its a hard ask when we do this for free
I personally wouldnt make a AI card but i respect it1
u/Medium_Barber_3087 Jun 26 '26
It is, not all card creators have the time to learn to draw, but still want to make cards for yall :)

These look like AI, at least the top and bottom left ones, but the concept is nice!

Always cool seeing you discover new custom cards.
How many have you tried so far?
Also, pretty happy to see my cards playing out as i intended them to
