It could be a little difficult I guess if there was no gravity to hold the cards down...lol...
Could easily turn into a scenario like that episode of The Simpsons where Homer goes to space, and spills the bag of chips...
I'm just nuts for outer space, and would have given ANYTHING to go for a ride on the Space Shuttle for a round trip to the Station. I remember watching the first moon landing back in '69,.....been hooked ever since! I guess for the time being, the only way to go for a ride is in that tin can Soyuz the Russians send up! Actually,...it has an all time safety record better than that of the U.S.
If any of you guys are interested, and have never seen the station drift past overhead... here's a link (below) to NASA's flyover times page. You just find your country in the little drop down box over on the left under 'Sighting Opportunities', and you'll see what to do. It gives the dates and exact times when it will fly right over where you are on Earth!
I once saw it fly over one night after the Shuttle had undocked and was trailing behind it by a few miles. Instead of just ONE bright dot in the sky,...there were 2 moving at the same speed. Looked just AWESOME!!!
