What do y'all use to write and draw on the cards? I'm using a standard Bicycle deck and I tried using ultra fine point sharpies but they just stopped working before I even finished the sigils on the jokers.
Wreck This Deck has consumed my brain, I love it so much! It's just so fun to take a deck of cards and make them your own, and the creativity it inspires is something else! It's a solo game, but also the community around it is so fun and amazing!
Play this game! Wreck a deck! Summon a demon, it will work out just fine I promise!
Great game! I love altering the cards in the name of telling a good story. It is detailed without being stifling or locking you in on the details. I highly recommend it!!
2020 changed everything. The bad stuff was already there... but before, people were used to it. And I can't believe I'm saying this, given who I am and who I've been in my life, but I'm ready to believe in something.
My name is Mary Carpenter. I go by May. My true name is Red. And I'm a Deck Runner.
Wreck This Deck was so legitimately inspiring to me that I went and hand-bound the pre-print version my friend showed me. This game is rough, it's ready, and it's here to remind you what play - real play - feels like.
It feels like making something new.
If you'd like to hear an example of play, I recorded a play session based on my first reading. If you're into magic, witchcraft, fortunetelling, creative play, or character roleplaying at all, it's worth your time to check this game out. Find a deck (storebought is fine) and start creating.
I played this game on several episodes of my podcast, Alone at the Table, while the crowdfunding campaign was ongoing!
I really cannot speak highly enough of it. Defacing a deck of cards is both catharsis and art; it is game and ritual. There's a hugely supportive community on discord and I love intertwining my character's story with others'! Becky's made something really special here and I don't think I've encountered anything like it in all the solo games I've played.

Hiya - I've used sharpie myself, but you might want to check into the various communities online where you can get loads of tips:
Oh awesome! Thank you so much
There are a lot of ideas and resources for this on both the facebook group and the discord.
Personally I like to prep my cards with gesso first. But I also find that the thicker sharpies tend to work just fine
Hi ! By any chance, are there some community copies available please ?
Is it considered an offense to ask for it ? Genuine question. Because each time I do, I get zero answer.
no answer means no. it's an odd thing to ask when the creator has chosen not to offer community copies in the first place.
They didn't reply to me so I searched like a psycho and found it for free.

Blessed are the Deck Runners.
See you on the other side.
