PipChick, we know you are kidding. We have always locked our doors at night. You know, a typical home security with electronic surveillance, trained dobermans, 5 full-time security cards patrolling the exterior walls, an additional guard monitoring the entrance and cameras, and three others patrolling the interior of the house and grounds. Typical security measures everyone takes. Perfectly normal. :ugking:

I was going to say, you need that kind of security when you have like 5 Arabesque Gold and 4 Aarabesque Silver decks, not to mention a few bricks of House of the Rising Spades and Heritic.

Yeah, when you have that many in the vault, I don't think a nine-deck detail of security cards on your perimeter is going to be nearly enough to dissuade Amy.

All in all? You need another brick on the wall.

This project is killing it :o The next (mystery) stretch goal was set at €40k and it's already almost at €43k - and there are still add-ons coming. And the 48-hour funding bump.

Hello guys! Sorry for my lack of replies, Monolith and my daytime job are killing me and yesterday I went to bed early (usually I don't)
Anyways I am really, really happy about how the project is going - so far it's my faster, it might go well than SINS.
Thanks to everyone is contributing, I really hope it will turn cool as I think and hope it will be.

I've just unlocked 2 coins - well, are not cards, but I hope you'll love them anyways :-)
I had fun designing those two (and the gold one was totally unplanned)

I usually don't go for the coins but that black nickel one could be pretty slick. Gio, will you have a manufacturer's sample to show us pictures of at some point prior to survey lockdown, or just the renders?

If you love Carat Card Cases (who doesn't?), I've just unlocked a new awesome add-on > https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/th ... ts/2422840" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

As my previous project, the case is made by Carat Card Cases and it will be engraved in Uk by Clear Cut Creations. It will be similar to Eva Stele Oscura, a product of mine I'm very proud of. I hope you like it :-)

As always I announce I won't use BackerKit and I won't allow preorders on Black Monolith, and probably also on White.

Thank you for the amazing support!

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

I will probably open a small window when the production is almost completed, for allow backers to do a last minute add-on :)
