Anyone who has opened a pack of trading cards will know the thrill and excitement that goes along with it. Now imagine every character you've pulled is a middle-aged man from your town. If you're sat there thinking 'that sounds odd, why would I want that,' you clearly haven't heard of the card game which is currently taking a community in Japan by storm.
Kawara, a town in the Fukuoka Prefecture, has created an "Ojisan" or middle-aged man trading card game in an attempt to connect the younger generation with the older. This literally means packs of trading cards featuring the middle-aged men who live in the town are being collected by the local kids, and while it sounds strange, it's one of the most wholesome things I've ever heard about and now I'm desperate to start collecting too.
