Because his greatest adventure (besides his late wife Ellie!) took place through the air to South America, there is a strong flying sub-theme in the deck so he can reminisce about his time in the clouds. With many waterfalls in the art of cards as well, even the art reminds him of his wacky high-jinks with Russell. \n\nWhile by no means the strongest deck, Carl hopes that the retelling of his many adventures through this deck will be uplifting and inspiring to anyone playing at the same table!\n\n"},{"attributes":{"link":" https://archidekt.com/decks/7948728/mr_fredricksons_newest_adventure"},"insert":"Mr. Fredricksen's Newest Adventure"},{"insert":"\n"}]}
