Gemaco Millennium


Description: This promotional deck was something you could buy with your company info on the back of the cards, but the faces were the same for everyone.  They call came in the same tuck box with a big cut out showing the name of your company.  In this case, Mike Kinney Marketing, there isn't even a web presence to go with it.  Or, if it is, whoever is in charge of search engine optimization should be fired.

I have mixed feelings about this deck, as there are some very wonderful people in here.  There are also some not so wonderful people in here.  Henry Ford, who was a giant of business, was also a Nazi sympathizer who actually met with Hitler and had very ugly views of Jews.  Joseph Stalin. Lenin.

Then there are people like Madam Curie, and Gandhi. So it's not all bad.

There is, however, a very large presence of Old White Guys in here.  There's three women (Madam Curie, Joan D'arc and Isabella I), and a few Non-White Guys (Genghis Khan,  Gandhi, and Mao Zedong).  There are lots of people who aren't Old White Guys that could have been included and aren't.

Number of decks: 1

Open?: Yes
