I love the idea of the ATC-sized row house.
I'd love to participate!

Are these to be bound somehow? or just stacked and riffled through like playing cards?... Could it be made with the 3.5 side as the top? or should they all be tall and skinny? Are you decorating the back?

I'm very interested, but have never done a swap before - this may be a silly question, but are the 10 houses all the same or are all 10 unique and different?

Sign me up. This looks like a lot of fun.

Hi Silver! Don't worry about the binding! I haven't decided how I'm going to return them. They may end up being loose like most ATCs. It depends on how many players end up participating. You don't have to decorate the back - just sign your name. I think I'd prefer it if they were all made oriented with the tall side. (Roof and ground along the short sides of the card.) To keep them all relatively card sized, keep either the tall side OR the short side regulation ATC. - Don't cut both the width AND the length down - houses shouldn't be inchies if you get what I mean. Are you joining us?

Hi Penny! They can be decorated uniquely if you wish, but it isn't necessary. All 10 can be the same. That's what I will do. If we wind up with 10 players, then we will all have the same deck of houses. Let me know if you have any further questions. I'd love for you to join us!

I would like to join too. Cindy T

Suzanne, thanks for further explanation concerning the size. I initially thought I would have to make the house totally within the ATC size. Now I see only one of the sizes (length or width) need to be ATC sized.
