Altruism Decks from The Blue Crown - Now Available !

Unread post by Evan »

Release Date: October 9th, 2012
The Blue Crown posted this photo today. It has quite a few things that hint to the Altruism deck.

On the center guy's sleeve it says, "Altruism", on the stand, I see the owl face that we saw on the leaked images a while back, AND in the hand of the guy sitting down, he has that key thing that we saw on the leaked images. EDIT: It has also been pointed out that on the women's arm, it says Oct. 9

"The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts, between February 1692 and May 1693. During this time period legerdemain technicians were forced into seclusion....

All details of what's to come will be revealed soon...or maybe they already have been. ^

October 9th is the perfect date for me :)
I'm wondering if those are now the start of a new series or just a stand alone deck?
Will it be released on TBC website or maybe through HOPC ?
And last but not least : limited release or plenty of supplies?

For those of you that don't know, these were designed by Joshua M. Smith from Hydro74

He has some amazing artwork...

And for those that don't know, the original leaked photos of the decks have this image of the owl on them...

I put that "pic with the clues" into google and it came back with the original.
I made it into a animated gif...

Image


So, there are more secrets in the pic. I've circled them all

I can't make out what she's pointing at over the doorway, or what's written on the stair.

Can any of you?

Doorway says "Altruism is Coming" (I think), I can't figure out staircase either.

I think you guys are seeing things and that it doesn't say anything over the doorway or on the stairs and that she just happens to be pointing.

I gotta say, the Ace of Spades is disappointing. It looks very plain to me. Hopefully the rest of the deck is better.

Just noticed this myself, but why on Earth is the spade pip upside down? Don't believe me, look at the writing on the ace itself, weird.

This is looking more and more like another boring T11 deck. Too bad.

I like when a new deck comes out and I do not care for it that much. It makes me feel like I have control of my playing card addiction. I am going to pass on these and then share about it at a meeting.

Owls? Up-side-down spade on the AoS? After the Gold Crown screw up, I've been way over Blue Crown/HOPC. This Altruism deck is doing nothing towards making get back on board with those people. This is an easy pass for me.

Well it doesn't look like they've changed the front of the box. It still looks the same as the leaked photos from months ago

Image


I wonder if they will release both colors

The color is completely different but that looks to be the only difference on the box. I have a feeling it will just be one deck but I have no clue.

The color is only different because the second picture with both boxes wasn't run through Hipstamatic or some other shitty filter everyone is using these days.

Right, but that wouldn't change the color completely. The notepad is still white.
