Moresque by LOTREK

[JacksandJokers]

I'm a bit confused now

After Patrons had their lunch, Moresque players edition will be available to the public next week.

Sounds to me as this is the same version offered to Patreons but now also available to the public.

The price will be similar to the Patrons edition and yes, the decks will be shipped together.

Seems this is a different version ?

2 different decks:

Same faces, same back design with different colour scheme.

Patreon Edition has a foiled tuck box with inner foil and says Patreon Edition. Player's Edition not foiled as far as I'm aware.

[Harvonsgard]

Maybe it is confusing because... well, Lotrék lol.
TL;DR: There is a black back exclusive to Patreon edition and a green back Players edition available to all.

Azid, as already noted above, the Players deck is slightly different version from the Patron's version. As noted, the Patron's version was for Patron backers. I think Lotrek was thinking there would be a few extra for the public to get at a slightly higher price. However, it seems the Patrons gobbled those Patrons decks up and then some. If I recall correctly, I think it was 20 Euros each. So, I would assume something about the same for the Players Edition.

Thanks for clarification @ JacksandJokers, Harvonsgard & Bradius

Moresque Players edition available on Monday 17 May at 10:00 am EST on our website.

I am dyslexic, so this time I got Morgue playing cards, and now understand the new pricing scheme. Although I was thinking more along sugar skulls based on the title of the deck.

All kidding aside, I have more than a few decks from Lotrek for under $15. I have more than a few that are a lot more. I don't think I dislike any of them. You get value in each one. There is no doubt I am thrilled with my Crypt decks. While I didn't get the yet to be released Prism decks, I have a feeling those lucky enough to have secured one will be really pleased with that deck as well.

I am looking forward to fondling...err....handling this deck.

I'm not sure if Brad needs a towel or a tissue.

Past 10 am EST and I don't see it on the site. Should it be 10 am EST Lotrek time

This is from the website

[brownsl]

10:02 EDT and they are not available on the website. I then notice I missed them ... by 9 years!!

[brownsl]

Oops, Gandalf beat me to it!

[portcullis]

Push that button my Greek friend

[pstaehlin]

....waiting....

[pstaehlin]

Got it! Thank you, Lotrek!
The most affordable Lotrek deck I've ever purchased!

[Decknowledgy]

Wow.... it's a hefty €12 to ship to UK while the deck is €17....
Probably gonna pass

*sad highland noise*

[portcullis]

anyone else having trouble with the free shipping code?

[brownsl]

Yup, says the code is invalid

[portcullis]

OK, don't feel so bad now

[brownsl]

So, the question is ... do we order them with shipping and count on shipping getting refunded or hold off and wait for the code to be fixed? I worry about them getting sold out. However, it seems like there are still 1500 decks available

[bdawg923]

Code worked for me. I just tried

[GandalfTheWhite]

oh yeah hefty shipping to US too which makes sense as it is shipping from Greece? Btw, you ^ folks talking about free shipping code, I'm assuming it is for Patreon members only, right? Or is he code provided somewhere and I just don't have it? Let me know

[Harvonsgard]

Yup, on Patreon.

[brownsl]

Code working now.

[Lotrek]

Free shipping is for Patrons who have already ordered the Patrons edition and these will be sent in the same package. The code didn't work for some reason so I will refund those Patrons who were charged extra shipping.

Shipping costs were unfortunately almost doubled in Greece to all destinations from Jan 2021 so I had to adjust the charge. I know it sucks but there is nothing I can do. I'm looking for other options like sending them to another country but if you count in all extra costs, it's about the same...

[Timmargh]

Wow.... it's a hefty €12 to ship to UK while the deck is €17....

*sad highland noise*

Do you want to split it and I'll forward it on to you?

[redux]

Shipping held me back a bit, but happy to get even one.

[Timmargh]

If there are any more UK collectors who want to jump in then feel free to message me; I'll be ordering tomorrow sometime.

[Cardians]

Still lots in stock.. Just what the doctor ordered...

So basically $35 shipped for one deck. No foil on the cards. Probably questionable handling. Hard pass.

I get shipping is going to suck, we Americans are spoiled in that regard, but it's still over $20 per deck not factoring in shipping. I like the art (it's Lotrek, after all) but the value just isn't there for me, not at $35 for one deck. I can get 2 Kings Wild decks for less, and Jackson's decks will be foiled with great tucks. I can get an Eye of the Ocean deck for less than $35, and Lorenzo's decks will be foiled and gilded with an awesome tuck. At the quantities the Moresque's will be printed in, there isn't even an artificial rareness factor at play. I guess I'll just be happy with my Arabesque players edition decks, which were in fact actually affordable.

Do you hear that Lotrék? Do us all a favor and add a cheap plastic layer next time instead of using an expensive metallic ink. You know we collectors are all about the artificial and not about the substancial.

At the quantities the Moresque's will be printed ino, there isn't even an artificial rareness factor at play.

How dare you Lotrék to make decks affordable! Next time please less decks and trice the price again - or four times? I'm not educated on what rareness is worth nowadays . Please and thank you .
