I don't really know what I'm talking about but I'm not sure this type of card game translates well online. In my opinion, the site design is a problem. The problem I'm seeing is that there's nothing making me want to learn how to play a new card game. I have no idea what the answer to that problem is but there's got to be some motivator on the site, I think, to get people to want to learn it. I'm sure once the game is learned people will love it. Maybe you could look at techniques other card games/board games use to get people interested? If you made a digital version of the game, you may also be able to sell the physical card game online?

The site is too red.

I agree. I wouldn't buy from this site if they paid me double the cost.

Edit: If you want people to take you seriously, you should take yourself seriously. I am sure the game is great, given the offline response, but online we judge you by your website.

thanks mrbgty for taking the time to look at the site and giving feedback. "Motivation" site is "Too red" I have added that to my list of to do. Thanks. Anyone else?
After the redesign, is there any learning on if the buy button should be upfront on home? or it doesn't matter?

Maybe this is a a really stupid question.
