Re: Kingstar Carat Cases - Misleading the Public?

As for the topic... not to step on toes but seriously, something a tad more creative than DS1 and X1 would help to avoid easy misunderstandings and copy&paste. Imagine Nike branding a shoe "RunningShoe1" or Lego going with "PlasticClickBrick" (although that one seems somewha...

Re: Kingstar Carat Cases - Misleading the Public?

More to life than worrying about the name to a plastic box for playing cards that says X1 X2 XYZ69 Unless that name represents a brand that you have spent the past 9 years building a solid reputation for and is misappropriated, regardless of whether it was intentional or not. It is humbling that bo...

Re: Ronin by kings wild project

All accusations and negatively aside, I would really like to hear Jackson's response to why 'Ronin' was chosen for the title of a deck of samurai warriors. The kanji (which literally means Han Characters or Chinese) of Ronin is ‘浪人’, as Jackson clearly shows on his campaign page. These characters li...

Tom Mead is raising money for a new deck of cards, which may or may not be called 'Darker Suits' and is selling prints of what appears to be the Eights, Kings and Aces of his new deck.
