Bicycle Parallel Universe & Multiverse / KS
Courts are kinda cute, but messiness definitely overpowers. That back design with several neon layers is just too much to bear.

Re: Bicycle Parallel Universe & Multiverse / KS
Asking the real question here - will my 3-D glasses work with them?
Aaaand what badpete wrote. While I can appreciate some of the elements used since, well dunno. Overall way too messy, imo.

Re: Bicycle Parallel Universe & Multiverse / KS
These are oddly unique, unparallel. If I had to choose, it'll be the yellow tuck.

Re: Bicycle Parallel Universe & Multiverse / KS
At first glance, the effect of most of the card fronts appears to me more as mismatched printing registration, not anaglyph 3D.
I do see the hockey stick-looking dividers on the courts are lined differently from the rest of the art, and so look a little 3D.
Individual filters in 3D glasses would be helpful in looking at the designs on the backs.
These decks seem to generate visual confusion, but I'm neither magician nor cardist, so I don't know if they would help with illusion or distraction.
I think I'd get a headache trying to play cards for very long, though.

Re: Bicycle Parallel Universe & Multiverse / KS
Some parts of this actually interest me in an odd way, but other parts just are a complete miss for me. I think this design could work if it was cleaned up a lot in parts. Please change those faces for sure.

Re: Bicycle Parallel Universe & Multiverse / KS
These are SO CUTE... but way too messy... what a shame. These make me uncomfortable on a somewhat normal day, I can't imagine what it will be like to play with these cards with a headache or on a bad day.

Re: Bicycle Parallel Universe & Multiverse / KS
I don't like these enough to buy in the current times but I do like them. Much better than a deck with standard courts and a solid rectangle back or a damn dot.

Re: Bicycle Parallel Universe & Multiverse / KS
Actually yes. Based on what I could see using 3D glasses, you need to see these cards using 3D glasses. The whole parallel universe theme comes alive with them. But there's no way you can play with this deck wearing 3D glasses. So it's a gimmicky, 1 off deck. If you want something novel for your collection, this is one of them.

Re: Bicycle Parallel Universe & Multiverse / KS
While I like the idea of a 3D deck, we have seen uses of this in recent times. The artwork to me is extremely scattered, so definitely a pass.
