Oof... playability = zero. We had repeating courts (which I assume this deck has as well since only 3 courts cards are shown?) but repeating number cards!? That's a novelty - at least for me.
Same colouring for all suits... okaaaaay... Topped of by small indices because if the pips won't help you why should the indices I guess...
Switching from bright background to dark for the courts and then to even darker for the aces!? At least there is no problem to distinguish between numbers and courts and aces. Would be dope it the same would be a given for differenciating the suits, imo.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

This is not to my taste. :|

If I was into scifi decks I don't think I would be pledging on this either due to the lack of continuity between the numbers, courts and aces. It looks like they belong to different decks. I guess one could consider theme tied together, somehow, by theme? I don't know. To me it's disjointed and doesn't make sense. No, I didn't read the page. It doesn't matter whatever is said there. I see what I see in the images and they speak volumes. This is not a finished product, it's four very different separate starts. The card back doesn't fit either. I don't get it and I'm afraid I'm not going to put forth any more effort in trying to understand it. :|

Still, I hope it funds and does very well for the people who love it and think it fits right in with their collection and use. ;)

Oh! by the way, Nice Stickers! They look fun! :)

EDIT: Congratulations on funding! I think it's the stickers. ;)

I like what they were trying to do, but it’s definitely not my taste. One way courts aren’t for me and I was going to overlook it, but then all Ks Qs and Js are the same and that’s no good. Also I don’t get the huge contrast in light and dark between the numbers and courts. Either way good luck to them the theme is dope just little details are missing for me.

Some folks are absolutely loving all over this! I still think it's because of the stickers though I am very happy for them. This is turning out to have some serious funding and with that comes backing and with that is support. Who knew this niche of disjointed deck design was such a, Thing. :shock:

Good on you! You have your finger on the pulse of the backers for this campaign! :D

Does anyone know how to distinguish between the two different gilded decks WITHOUT opening them? I bought both (I think!) and then when I got them realized there are no obvious differences. Thanks in advance!

4) Q: I received my decks, but the decks seem to be all the same. How can I identify them?

A: We were supposed to have different colored seals for each set of gilded decks. Unfortunately, USPCC printed all the seals in grey. There is not a very good way to distinguish them other than peeking at the internal corner at the edge of the box flap to see the color of the box’s inner print as seen in the photo below.
