Re: Theory11 Spin the wheel 2024

It's supposed to close on Jan 31st according to the rules.

As for apathy, I really can't complain. After 7 years of spinning the wheel I finally got to 10k pts in 2024 without having to buy anything. To my surprise it got me a free Silver Artisan deck and a very cool metal Elite member card. YMMV.

Re: The Secret Tale of Robin Hood: Luxurious Playing Cards

Can one just fly down to berlin, go to the warehouse and you know... perform some magic fingers on the abandoned decks?

I now regret my curiosity in clicking the KS link to see just how bad it was. I use to think Michele Hartsoe's decks were trashy and the worse decks I've ever seen on KS. This one trumps Hartsoe easily! [MURRAY]

Was curious about this and decided to see what's going on. She updated on Jan 9 with physical card samples. So this project is still live. Glad this wasn't another abandoned project.

There are some who wonder what can we do with the points.

The points can also be converted into a discount code at any time, but you can't combine...

Re: 1ST x Daniel Madison Curators Collection

From the cards description, it looks like the reason for the backs is to incorporate the Advocate Pocket Index trick as well. Which explains why the set is so expensive. Or in Madison's case, more expensive than his decks usually are. There's a video at the bottom of the description where he shows h...

Michael Scott of Homerungames has released a new deck, the Square deck. Nothing much to shout about, but just the novelty of it. He released the Triangle deck 5 years ago.

Well, that's definitely different. Good range of courts from around the world too.

Re: Next Virtuoso deck by thevirts

$15 per deck as this deck is part of the Moments series. Meaning it is cheaper and shouldn't be selling out soon.

Moments Open Courts still selling at the same launch price and plenty in stock with most retailers. I'll wait for my local retailers to sell it.
