Its a beautiful deck. Elettra's presentation at the convention was terrific - the amount of thought, effort, and detail she put in was amazing. LPCC did a wonderful job with the printing & foiling. I just noticed that this is the first 52+J deck printed by LPCC. Used to be EPCC all the while. I...

Its a beautiful deck. Elettra's presentation at the convention was terrific - the amount of thought, effort, and detail she put in was amazing. LPCC did a wonderful job with the printing & foiling. The design of the wrap/tuck is stellar, and the production from Boschiero & Newton is second-t...

Chris and I are very grateful to the 52+J folks for letting us present this project at the convention. The whole idea came together literally just before the convention started. We couldn't be more thrilled or thankful that Russ Gray agreed to create the design. You know from his portfolio of amazin...

Harvonsgard - great question. I thought the same thing when I started making cards. I thought surely with the 5k minimum at USPCC that I could do something like 2.5k each of Red & Blue and that would count. Nope. Different colors, even if the base designs are the same, are not treated as part of...

Mr. Honeybee wins the award for most active participant in the thread, that’s for sure.

 Your love & enthusiasm over the Honeybees is super apparent, and I really appreciate that. You seem really stuck on the price of the Pink decks, so hopefully I can shine a light on things to make it make mo...

All versions are now live!

Worker are only $6 each when purchased as a 10-pack.

Special Edition:

The faces are the same as the Elite Edition. Different from the various Black & Yellow decks from over the years. The Black & Yellow decks share a set of faces, while the Elite, Worker, and new Pink Special share a set of faces. And trust me, now that Honeybees are almost 9 years old, I've m...

Hi all. It's high time for a new edition of Honeybees! This Wednesday (May 22) Penguin will be launching Honeybee Worker Edition. These are the spiritual successor to the Honeybee Elite Edition that were launched back in 2018. The biggest goals with the Elite Edition were to have affordable borderle...

As you say, there was no way to please everyone. Personally, I would have been perfectly happy to not introduce a new variant - though now I am excited to see the UV version in person. But that would have made a certain segement of backers upset. No action would have made everyone completely happy. ...

Not every decision is mine to make with how some decks are offered

Thank you guys, I appreciate it. My personal reputation in this space means the world to me. This year marks my 15th anniversary of producing cards. I did my first one in 2009. No crowdfunding, no nothing. I took out a small business loan and it was sink or swim. Luckily I was able to swim. I have n...

HI all. I hope I can help shine some light on this. Our goal is to make as many people as possible happy with our offerings, of course. The unfortunate flip side of that is that we can't make 100% of people completely 100% happy. Part of our goal included launching the campaign with everything. Ever...

Are the court illustrations new on this deck? "The main illustrations of the court & number cards match those of other decks in the Odd Fellows series, with their own color scheme & quirks for The Dude." The Dude courts are based on the Capt Spindel Webber courts. They have a new ...

Most likely not, since they're in-stock with free worldwide shipping on the Penguin website already. Not much reason to let KS take a cut on those particular decks, but feel free to grab them direct! Since you're active here, any plans on including Malaysia in your free shipping list? I had, a few ...

I’ve been lucky enough to make it to every convention from 2015 and onward so far.

If you can make it, I’d say it’s a must-go convention. Anyone who loves cards should go at least once!

Next version of Honeybees will be released in about a month. They will not be Bicycle branded. Will probably start a new thread for them when we get closer to release.

Being a backs man, especially B+W and patterned, I still prefer all my Emperors The only decks I have more of are the Honeybees - I am obviously a big PM supporter My surname begins with OD but I guess I'm not an ODD man - or maybe I am Emperor & Honeybee are among my favorites as well - very p...

It might be a long shot, but, can we have the Emperor Playing Cards be added as addons? Cuz its penguins and all Most likely not, since they're in-stock with free worldwide shipping on the Penguin website already. Not much reason to let KS take a cut on those particular decks, but feel free to grab...

Thanks to everyone for the early support! We're calling the official time at about 6.5 minutes to be fully funded. Amazing! This is officially the "coolest" set of playing cards ever made! Our early birds will be running for about another 47 hours - snag 'em while they're hot! Or cool. Or ...

One hour to go! Woohoo!

Quite easy. The marks are color-coded, and also go along both the long and short edge of the deck.

Today’s the big day! Launching at 2pm eastern (a little less than 7 hours from the time of this post). There are some early birds for 48 hours. The main pledge items are the Dude Standard Edition (blue), the Golden Snowflake edition (Gilded), and the Herr Ingo mini deck. We also have uncut sheets of...

No worries!

Ocelot, I'm pretty sure Lorenzo's Patreon post asked not to share those yet... ;) Anyway folks, we're happy to announce that the campaign will go live at 2PM eastern (New York) time tomorrow - Tuesday, April 30th. That's 11am Pacific (California) time, and I'm sure you can extrapolate for other time...

Actually, that’s a great catch, and I never would have used that terminology.

Because this is considered more “magic item” and less “custom collector deck” I actually did not write this ad copy.

I’ll submit a correction up the ladder though.

I really like this year's deck, but traditional/classic style decks also generally appeal to me. I especially love the Back, Tuck, and AS. This is the first deck of Brendan's that I've owned. Turning the club deck unveiling into a general deck unveiling happened inadvertently in 2015. The number of ...

The Butterfly Playing Cards by Ondrej Psenicka have established themselves in the past few years as the best and most popular edge-marked deck in the world. What else would we expect from a man who fooled Penn & Teller 3 times?! Penguin is proud to introduce our 2nd collaboration with Butterfly ...

Thanks to hsbc for starting the thread and for everyone who's commented so far. I absolutely LOVE the Evil Robots deck - I think it's one of the best decks we've produced to date, and we've certainly produced a lot of them. Lots of assumptions being thrown around about Penguin's deck plans, so I fig...

I like these and backed them. I absolutely love stuff like the old Dougherty and Hart decks, and this delivers that antique style really well. I'm someone who opens & uses my decks, so I always prefer a more classic/traditional look to the faces. Better for magic tricks and card games. In my boo...

The Black are sold out, but the Gilded are available here:
