Here's your problem, put bluntly:
Your cards don't look better than a normal person could design in an afternoon or two, and they cost ~10x what a deck of cards does. You've got a mediocre product you want to sell at a high price.
Here's what to do:
1. Lower your price until you get customers
http://www.printerstudio.com/unique-ideas/custom-playing-cards.html http://www.printerstudio.com/unique-ideas/custom-playing-car... will sell you 151 decks of cards for $604 ($4 ea). Buy from there and set your initial price at $5.
2. Sell cards that actually add value to a trip
Some ideas:
- fizx's combinatorial directions idea
- base it by city, with city specific adventure ideas
- lose the "play it safe" card copy. If you have any non-family/friend sales yet, figure out who your customer is and use the same kind of language/slang they use with their friends.
- Use adventure ideas that actually put people in the mood to adventure ("Go to a local bookstore and ask an employee about his favorite book" honestly sounds incredibly boring. "Find an attractive girl at the local bookstore and convince her that your favorite book is better than her favorite book" sounds more fun. With thought, you can do better.)
