Royal Optik by Uusi now live on Kickstarter

[volantangel]

Uusi just gave a sneak peak of their third deck of out six in the series after blue blood and bohemia named Royal Optik.

As of now, all we have are sneak peeks of the tuck boxes and know for sure it will be a Kickstarter deck to be launched next week.

Not that I don't enjoy their decks, because I do, but I don't really see any reason to call them "a series"

Looks like another nice deck though. I just hope they can avoid using kickstarter this time.

Nice! I was eagerly waiting for their next release. These show promise so far. I hate teaser pics, though......

I think the reason they are in a series is that they chose to adopt a different medium to compose their artwork, first was blue blood w pen drawings, second was bohemia with watercolour/paint. This might be the reason they are in a series.

To me that sounds like just another difference. Decks being in a series would suggest they have something in common, no?

Uusi has become one of my favorite deck designers and their third deck looks like another strong offering. One of the areas Uusi excels at is their exquisite court cards, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what they'll look like. I think it would be awesome if they incorporate the tuck box design into the clothing of the court cards.

It's definitely going on KS from what I know.

If you look closely, the sides and bottom of the tuckbox have the same design and text as the Bohemia deck.

Either way I have high hopes for this deck. I hope they don't raise their prices like everyone else has.

[PlayingCardz]

Well UUSI decks were already very expensive to begin with, so that's very unlikely

That could probably be said about most decks from the same producer. Simply using the same font and text on the box isn't exactly a recurring theme.

Sorry if it seems like I'm making this a big deal, it really isn't. I just think it's silly to call them a series for no other apparent reason than capitalizing on collectors with OCD.

I agree Svinger, these seem to be a series in name only. I would like to see more Blue Blood esque follow up. Still, I am always impressed with Uusi products, perhaps they can stop by and shed some light on the series quandry

[Twix]

Henceforth Uusi is the only decks I'll probably buy off KS. Too much amateur hour gong show going on for my taste.

Hey Everyone,

Just saw the thread started on Royal Optik and wanted to jump in and respond to the "series" question. We are calling these six decks a series because that is all the decks we plan to make for our design company. The challenge for us was to create six unique, Limited Edition decks that made up a single collection, hence the term "series."

We will be releasing more images of the deck itself very soon and want to thank everyone for your support on our card designs.

As for the tuck design, the 52 on the side and the copy layout on the bottom has become our signature layout or "look". The font used on the bottom is unique to Royal Optik as are the fonts on our other decks.

It will be launching on KS early next week - as soon as we have an exact time/day I'll let you guys/girls know...

Thanks for addressing that, Peter. Seems a bit strange to set out to make 6 decks, no more no less. But I guess it's good to have a goal like that to work towards

[sinjin7]

I hope they do better and better with each successive deck they produce so that by the end of their six deck series, they decide to continue on with more decks in the future.

[uusikissa]

Volantangel - Thanks for starting a thread on our new deck coming out, launching on KS.

Just thought I would post some images here of the deck itself...






We should be launching the deck on KS early next week - I'll post the exact day and time as soon as we have it on this thread.

Thanks for everyone's support!

Couldn't agree more!

[cosmicsecret]

These cards look very promising!
The back design fits ,IMHO so well to the style of the face cards.Also the back design shows this nice pattern in a fan.
I have no doubts that this deck will be a instant win!


just crossing my fingers for fair international shipping prices

[lumpyliew]

Uusi always design awesome decks .. However , their decks are hell expen sive ....

[Twix]

Another must buy. +2 for reasonable shipping rates, or separate Canadian/International rates.

[uusikissa]

Just wanted to let those interested know that we will be launching the Uusi "Royal Optik" Playing Card Deck tomorrow morning on Kickstarter (the 16th) at 11:00am CST. UC has been incredibly supportive on our past deck designs and we hope Royal Optik is received as well. Thanks for taking a look at the project!

Here is a quick sneak peak at the ace of spades:

[CrazyErnie]

I've been anxiously awaiting and constantly checking KickStarter for your new project. You'll have my immediate support for multiple decks. Your two previous decks are top ranked in my collection.

Kickstarter page has gone up.

high international shipping holds me off from backing this...its a pitty!

[BiggerDee]

69% funded in only an hour and a half!

Their shipping rates are actually very fair. It costs nearly $12 in postage alone to ship 1 deck USPS first class to international destinations.

Adding on just $8 is very reasonable, considering they also have costs of packaging and time.

Got me sum dem sumbitches. Although I have a dirty feeling whenever I back a KS project Uusi has always done me right. Looks like these cards are going to raise a substantial sum of deniro
