Re: KS | Leonardo Masterworks | Art Playing Cards

Just to be clear the acknowledgement for your mistake was only made here in the UC, and the refund was also done to the members that asked for them, you never mentioned that on your KS campaign, so most of your backer still believe that they are holding on something special, but they don't, it is j...

Re: KS | Leonardo Masterworks | Art Playing Cards

For me, and for others as I assume, it's not the the ability to buy. It is the desire to buy such an edition or spend the money for a tuck swap. As good as it may look and with the metal. There are decks I have not bought, from my absolute favorite designers, that were tuck swaps. I wouldn't say I ...

Re: KS | Leonardo Masterworks | Art Playing Cards

I think that this particular Leonardo horse has been beaten to death one too many times. And I agree that the price point is ridiculous. I agree. The price is far too high for what it is. I might pay $20 for the STL files and print it myself. There appears to be no added incentive for me, since I o...

Re: KS | Leonardo Masterworks | Art Playing Cards

It appears the metal display stands are a mandatory purchase with the decks, which presumably is what really accounts for the price. I personally can't help but feel like this would get a lot more backers with lower tiers available. Hi, thank you so much for your kind message… The tucks are fused t...

Re: 1001 Nights Playing Cards live on KS

A number of our collector friends and backers have asked that we add something to the decks that identifies that they came from this initial Kickstarter campaign print run. So we put on our thinking (and designing) caps and decided to add a stamp seal to each and every deck from this First Edition o...

The Glitch video you did that this is apparently based off is super cool.
