Re: Tournament of the Mythic Kingdoms 2: Mountain and Dungeon

We recently posted a themed set of rules for a variant of Spades in Update #4 that works well with these cards. Anyone know of other fantasy-themed card games that are played with 52-card decks (or also with jokers)? Here are the ones I've found so far: Ascension (youtube) Clear the Dungeon (youtube...

Re: Themed Card Game Score Sheets

Hi all, we're going to be providing PDF downloads for these Mythic Kingdoms themed score sheets tomorrow in our next update. I would imagine this has been done before for other decks, but if not, what do you think of this idea? One of them is just a generic score sheet for common card games. We're t...

Re: Tournament of the Mythic Kingdoms 2: Mountain and Dungeon

I'm no engineer, so I can't speak to the best design that way, but I really like the third idea then the second. Don't care for the first at all. Thanks. Not surprisingly, the first one was one of our first ideas in our crazy folding brainstorm. For purely displaying (no labels), I like the second....

Thanks for sharing the video - that was a neat 3D effect with that card cutout. The phone holder is a cool idea, too ... though that's quite a bit of weight to hold - must have been a clever fold.

Re: Ideas for Bonus Extras - Foldable Card Display Stands

Hi all, we're thinking of including some extra bonus cards in each package (not within the decks themselves, but as random extras) and we'd like to know what you think about these ideas for making card display stands by just folding normal cards. We went through quite a few decks of extra cards brai...

Exactly - just the jokers and the card backs are different.

We've added a one-deck option. Thanks for the feedback!

Hopefully the total amount of fun people had and the total amount of fun they will have with the cards will far outweigh the total inconveniences experienced a...

Wow! Thanks everybody. I was going to add a new post to announce the launch this morning, but it looks like you beat me to the punch. :D My question is more about the art book.

Hey all, So far, the only place I've seen for specifically printing custom brick boxes or custom half brick boxes or playing cards (at a reasonable price) is MPC. Are there other good options? For printing product boxes in general, Uprinting.com looks like it might be a decent option. DukePackaging....

Thank you very much for all the extra detailed info! We will be printing the cards through USPCC.

I actually followed up to ask about the reduction in USPCC printing w...

Re: Tournament of the Mythic Kingdoms

What do you all think of LPCC (Legends Playing Card Company)? We're in the process of getting a quote from them - the tuck box options seem very reasonable, but we haven't gotten the official quote yet. The main question I have is whether the quality of the cards is really as good as USPCC as they c...

Thanks, Eric. We are looking into the other tuck box options. We want to use USPCC for the cards, but I suppose we aren't necessarily committed to anyone for tuck boxes. I personally would love to have these embossed, so we will consider other options. We got the next few steps of the kickstarter fi...

I didn't notice embossing as a stretch goal. Am I to assume that will be included from the beginning or have you not considered that feature yet? As a picky collector, one of the most important features I look for is tuck embossing as opposed to a flat, glossy tuck. If it's not a stretch goal, woul...
