She's not really looking at the pizza with her "okay" fingers either.
That symbol is actually one used to signify good food. At least my Italian father always did that. Have you ever ordered pizza and found this guy on the box?:

This absolutely needs to be the theme for the tuck box.

Starting to get a little worried that this deck won't fund...

Obviously a great deck, I just wish the funding goal was a bit lower.

$15K for USPCC is more than reasonable goal. It's 2 unique decks not just a back swap so that's 2 deck approvals, proofs. and printings. I don't know why this stalled because the art is great, each suit is the pizza country of the Ace, and the Aces give you a pizza name and toppings. A pair of decks for $26 US is a steal compared to other crap on KS today. I'm sad to see this stall because it's that good in my opinion.

I agree; why this KS has lost momentum is really puzzling - regardless of the amazing artwork, the campaign itself is even well presented. My only guess other than "buyers' fatigue" is that perhaps the artwork is "too" stylized/cartoon-ish and doesn't meet the particular taste preferences of the masses; but for such a fun theme like pizza, I think it's honestly the most suited design style for this deck. Also, its awesome having two completely different, yet complementary decks and for that, I think the price is very well justified.

It's a real shame that this campaign isn't getting the attention it deserves with all things considered.

Oh I get it, I purely wished the funding was lower so that it would have been successful. I just want to get my hands on these cards

Pipchick, your reasoning is exactly why I fell off the fence for backing. I've backed so many great decks lately that I had to beg off somewhere, and the art is just a little too cartoony for my tastes. And for some reason the pips really turn me off. Still hope it funds because I think it is a worthy set of decks compared to so many other sub-par offerings.

Added the "kickup" to the original post to hopefully make this a little more discoverable to the casual visitors to our site.

I JUST backed these and 15 mins later got the email that they cancelled the kickstarter. Soooo disappointing. I was REALLY looking forward to these.

dear friends, thank you for your support, but the numbers don't lie, the project was doomed. Anyway, we will relaunch, don't worry! I'm thinking of 1 deck only and a more traditional tuck case and back, with other things added as stretch goals. All of your comments are welcome, thank you for your kind words, I know that not every deck is for everyone (I don't like horror themed decks, for example) but I tought that this one could have a wider appeal.

Noooooo, say it ain't so! It's a damn shame that you couldn't fund. If I can add my two cents I'd say to keep the back design since it's just amazing as is, launch one deck at a time(but definite'y launch both as they both deserve to see the light of day), and possibly change the tuck if you think that would help(though I personally like it as is). Also maybe you can add on more small rewards to get people going like pins and such.

As much as I like cheesy wordplay, I'm not going to try to top this one.

This had BETTER make a comeback!

Agreed, this looked like a fun one. Different from others out there. Perhaps they can leave out the special/display boxes and just work on the deck.

We will relaunch.. we just have a looong pipeline of projects and I don't want to get too confused. Now the designer is on his honeymoon, so I guess that - even if we don't want to change many things - we need to wait for the relaunch of pizza.

We will relaunch the 9th of July. That's the curreny (still not announced) date.

Thank you PipChick

we did some variations, and I'm trying to make sure this time is funded, so we will start with one deck and we will upgrade to two decks if the backers follow us.

Not now, but in a couple of days the new back and the new box will be ready.

The faces are the same. Now, since we want to start with a lower goal, there will be two decks with a color swap, the second deck will have different illustrations only if a specific stretch goal is reached.

CupcakeBaron · Thu Jun 28, 2018 11:22 am

I hope the back didn't change too much, that was one of my favorite things about the deck

I hope it's a low stretch goal. Both front faces deserve to be made.
