The Mars Edition is set to launch on Kickstarter Saturday, May 12th at 3PM PST. If you are needing their limited Mars deck, I suggest you set your alarm pounce early and quick to make sure you get one. Below is a link to preview the campaign. They say they have mailed all rewards, except for the full sets. However, as of today, I only have my Mercury set.

I like how the deck's sticking with the "men come from mars, women come from venus" saying with the all-male courts - too cool :D I can't wait!!

Perhaps they mean that they've finally shipped the LE orders from Mercury?

Love the design, planning to back the set at the end. I prefer the standard over the limited with the different colors for each planet.

Correct. That note was in a Mercury campaign update and was referring to all Mercury rewards having shipped. Although it looks like Venus decks have just started shipping out as well :)

Oh yea, a lot of us feel this way. On the Earth campaign, I wasn't able to land the SE+LE set. I'll still try to get both decks every time.

Got my decks in today and man I really wish that Clove St Press would finally get their foiling technique down. I get that foiling won't always come out perfect but I hate that one of my decks seems to have a bit of overprinting so some detail is lost while the other has some patchy foiling. Hopefully when I get my Mars deck in it'll come out better than my previous ones.

I received my Earth decks today and I'm happy. They look great. I will say now that I have two other LE decks to compare to my Venus decks (That being Mercury and Earth). The foiling on my Venus LE decks are pretty bad.

Bottom left of the left deck seems to be a problem area

I mentioned this in the Venus deck thread on here...the initial batch of Venus LE tucks were essentially defective and were supposed to be thrown away by Art of Play during assembly. However, they didn't get tossed and as a result were shipped along with the good tuckboxes to Gamblers, where some of the defective tucks were then inadvertently assembled and shipped out. So, if you think you have defective tucks (messier lines, noticeable amounts of foil rubbed off, & glittery foil flakes inside the cellophane), then please send photos of the decks (including an image of the seal #s) to me at ace@vandacards.com.

Thanks,
David

Again, if someone has a standard Earth deck to trade? Merlebirb if you still want that Giochi di Corte deck ;)

I am familiar with all internet traditions :mrgreen:

But sorry, no extra Earths for trade. I only pledged for one and Dave rudely neglected to send me any free decks this time around.... :ugthink:
