    I thought possibly: Must place cards on body, one-at-a-time, with no complete overlay stacking.

      Or: Must place cards on body, one-at-a-time, with no overlaying.

    Tai (and others): How can we adjust the rules to avoid people doing that? Ben, am I correct that none of your cards touch? If so, let's add that as a rule.

    • United States Ben Jenkins

      Yeah, none of my cards touch. I thought about the decks thing, but thought it was against the spirit of the record.

    • Canada Dan Rollman

      OK, will add that rule. Matthew Allen, hope you are cool with that.

    • United States Matthew Allen

      That is totally okay! I am fairly new to Recordsetter, but would like to keep the spirit high and the rules in-line haha

    I don't see any rule that would make it illegitimate to just put the whole 52 cards on my head, then just use whole decks of cards instead of just one card at a time...

    so the cards can't be stacked cause that would be to easy.. but I noticed there was about a half card overlap in seth's hand, so could all the cards be overlapped like that. any regulation here... i'm goin for it
