I Like.

Hm, Photobucket doesn't seem to think those images exist.

The cards were online for over a week, and right when I take them down, there's interest in them.

It's a game design I've had for a while that I'm updating the graphics for and shipping out to publishers in hope that someone picks it up.

Nice graphics.  Are there supposed to be only numbers, or will there be effects in the game?

They're robots. Of course it's only numbers. They need room on their hard drives for all the madd Kung Fu skillz.

They don't have any effect. The main number is their awesomeness rating; the player whose robots have the highest combined awesomeness wins the Automaton Wiring Exposition and Symposium of Organized Mechanical Elements. A working title for the game is Awesome Bots.

The cost of playing a card is on the bottom of a card. You pay in other part cards you've already played. To play the 37 Green bot (cost "X 10 green"), you need to scrap (discard) 10 points' worth of green robot parts. To play the 24 Orange bot (cost "^ 16 orange") you need to upgrade 16 points' worth of orange robot parts; upgraded parts can't be used for further costs but still give you awesomeness at the end of the game.

what an ... awesome idea!

-1 for the pun.

Very kewl very kewl!!   Just for kicks try making the "Cots" boxes shorter. The height of them kind of contrast.  but I really like them otherwise :-)
