Re: Pinocchio Playing Cards

are they new cards as well or just new tucks? The cards are the "classic" ones, @Harvonsgard is right. I have always wanted to make a gilded edition of the Pinocchio decks for a bunch of reasons. On the one hand, the gilded edition was just never made. As the Vermilion and Sapphire tuck b...

Re: Genovesi

Hello there,

Opinion survey. Do you prefer top or bottom?

Re: Genovesi

I love this. Very excited about this project. Thanks for sharing! Thank you! :) Wouldn't be the first hand made deck I own 😃. Out of curiosity, what's the concern? I don't even know where to start from. A couple of examples might help to communicate the concerns I am talking about. Example no. 1 Pr...

Re: Genovesi

Family members are left-handed. They all fan the other way. We always need four corner indexed card for gameplay, which is a pity because most of the beautiful modern custom playing cards have only two corner indices. I don't know if they are indeed in the minority or if the majority of left-handed...

Re: Genovesi

I can't wait to see what you pull out the hat for the back design. Me too... :D However again.... game play/usability thing comes in to play. In an example scenario -- game play when players hold multiple cards, if those held cards not separated or held a wee bit apart, would not recognize if the c...

Is there anyone who has this deck? I’ve seen it via Portfolio 52 and I’ve been suddenly electrocuted (self-mockery? :oops: )
It’s an emotional issue ;)

I'd probably get these if I could afford backing anything at the moment, but I can't. Is it foil on the tuck box or the cards? I'm sorry @MagikFingerz.

I love this deck too. The illustrations are very original and the whole product seems to be made with great care. I'd be sooooo curious to explore the whole process behind the finished deck (design and realization of the physical product) :drool:

Yeah, definitely unique.
