Hi,

Here is our new deck with Japanese festival theme called "Matsuri Deck".

We had posted in "Custom Deck Drafting Board" before and now we are waiting for the prototype.

Since we have a few update changes plus going to KS soon, we consider create a new post here.

Here is our deck :
Card Box & Card Back


Aces [With the theme :Tatami , Magatama , Kitsune(Fox) , Uchiwa(Fan) ]


The Court Cards



Please leave us some comment about what you think of this deck:)
We will also update the prototype picture after we receive it.

I like the card back design and the Southpark style of the courts. I'm not sure on the tuck art design though. We cannot see the whole box, but the side and the bottom look kind of plain.

Glad that you like the design & style!
For the tuck box, I am currently searching for mock up file too,
but I can show you the design diagram now.

* As we think Japanese "minimalism" style/design is very Iconic, might be we should happy about your comment on "plain" *

Hi and Thank for the positive comment
We do planning to start the project in 15th-20th of October if possible.

We are also considering the printing company too.. since there are Cardtamundi, MPC, USPCC..
If possible, please let me know which one will you prefer the most or how would you rate between them

I took 4 years of Japanese in high school so I can read the hiragana, but I think there definitely needs to be a card that explains what the Japanese words mean. That being said, I like the back design (good balance between simplicity and art). The aces, while it has that feel, personally I think that the Kanji/ hiragana distracts from the art.
Finally, the court cards gives me a different feel than the aces/back design. It seems more elementary/ reminds me of the illustrations in the Japanese text-books that I used to use. Perhaps a border might change the feel?

[STLBluesNut]

I noticed the style difference between the backs, Aces and courts as well. However, I like them all and don't mind them being together.

Thanks and happy to know that you understand the hiragana!

For the extra card of explaining the Japanese word/hiragana, we plan to add it in the deck and was waiting the printing company(currently Cardtamundi) to reply.

We do tired different combinations on the aces , for example take away the hiragana or kanji, it will remains so plain, that is not something we want to see on Aces card.

From the word in the last paragraph, We will think about it and might end up adding some shadow on it.

Thanks for all of your advise [emoji2]

Cartamundi and USPCC are both fantastic options. Please not MPC

Ok Seems like most of the collector / cardists like USPCC or Cartamundi.
About Cartamundi, do you prefer the "Smooth Finish" or "B9 Finish"?
As we has experienced the B9 Copag playing card, but did not really handle a "Smooth Finish" playing card from Cartamundi.

Thanks
We are going to update some Theme Coin pic lately, Hope that you would like those too

[willroya]

Very nice. I much prefer USPCC.

If you need help working with them and USA distribution please let me know.

[JuFiN]

B9 is the best Cartamundi option without doubt.

[rousselle]

Love Cartamundi B9 stock. Hate Cartamundi smooth stock.

I may or may not back this project (there's a lot to like about it), and everyone has their preferences, but for what it's worth, this one collector will not back any project with Cartamundi smooth finish. Nor, knowingly, MPC smooth finish. Nor any other smooth finish. I'm just done with smooth finish. Done, I say.

Thank you for your kindness.
However we think USPCC is going to cost more than Cartimundi,
beside the printing cost, there is still a considerable amount of Set Up Charge,
Cartimundi seems a bit friendly.

For the USA distribution, we are interested in, and let's hope we will be successfully funded

Seems like Smooth Finish is not a good choices ..
We will keep this in mind, thanks!

I think they look quite pretty. One thing that strikes me as a bit bizarre though is the choice to use a Japanese character instead of the index pip on the ace of spades. It seems it's just on that one card ... though the character appears in a few other places as well. I wonder what it means. Anyway, maybe a slightly controversial choice.

Hi, Thanks for your question & comment

As an Ace of Spade, there are always "something more" then other cards/aces, so we decide to add the Japanese Word of "Festival".
We are going to make a video explaining those word or symbol soon, hopes that will help

"祭" is the mean of the celebration of "something", a Festival if you just translate it into English.

"祭" is actually Chinese in origin, though it has been adopted by the Japanese

Thank you for your correction!
There are many words is similar or the same in between Chinese & Japanese.

Hi everyone!

After a while of work, finally we are ready for the Kickstarter Project!
Just want to get some comment on our project outlook & the prices

Our Early Bird will last the first 48hours (or maybe 72?) and free USA + H.K. Shipping!
Please take a look and tell me what you think

We are going to start the project on the coming Friday Night(GMT+8)

Kickstarter Preview Link : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/61 ... n=aac4f326

I really like the early bird pricing with free shipping to the US. A 72 hour early bird is intriguing—I don't know if it would help or hurt your campaign in the long run.

Yes.. that is the point
We know 72 hours might a bit too long. However, we do want to cover everybody and at least giving them 1 chance to think of backing the early bird,
go over the weekends n 1 week day.

We will think about it and make some adjustment, might make it 48 hours long only.

I do not really like the “South Park” style of the courts and would miss this one but I can seen the amount of work you put in and I wish you luck in the campaign.

Thank you for your kind words and hope we will make some decks that suit your style in the future

There's a lot to like here especially the artwork. I thought about pledging for a bit but ultimately decided to pull the trigger. $11 is a good price and I hope this funds!
