Played at the family table
We grew up playing cards with parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. Pitch, Hearts, Spades, solitaire and more. Playing out of turn earned an asterisk. So did a dropped card or a snide comment. Asterisks never counted toward the score. Whoever won still heard about them: “Yeah, but four asterisks.”
In 2020, the whole family played Oh, Shoot every night. The game runs ten rounds, and each round had its own custom. Ten meant starting the coffee. Eight meant pouring it. Seven meant imitating one of the brothers.
We wanted a deck as good as those evenings. One to deal every night, not keep on a shelf. That’s where Fieldmark started.
Our family loves skiing, but we have plenty of other passions. Each Fieldmark edition takes one of them and gets it right, down to the small things. In birdwatching, a field mark is the detail that names the bird. We make cards for the people who notice.
Every card is its own illustration, in the manner of old travel posters. Each deck is printed on black-core linen stock and packed in a matte tuck box. They play every game your family already knows. Asterisks optional.
