$15 for a standard deck with custom coloring and a goal of $1,000? They are either lying about who is making it or this will surely be a fail. This is definitely a pass.

Thanks!

Soooooo I guess they failed to research deck names, especially on kickstarter? I'm sure Elite will be taking notice. Campaigns that are filled with spelling errors and unrealistic goals (an established company can get away with a low goal because they're almost certain to blow past it) are destined to have a lot of problems from the gate.

A username of "ParteePartee" just says it all.

I suspect that this is what they want to do with our monee.

Kickstarter really has jumped the shark now.

We should have a 'Worst Deck Design' category in the next Deck of the Year contest.

That might overload the UC servers considering the amount of junk coming out this year.

Damn, I usually can find something in every deck but there is just nothing here. Hideous.

ParteePartee says:
Well, my plan was to purchase them then ship them from my place throw USPS. It would be fairly cheap because of USPS flat rate shipping. So if I can get up to 10K I can order and USPC will ship from there factory? This will be my first run, so any bit of advice would help a lot. But, once I get into the swing of things, it will be as easy as pie.

At least he had the decency to reconsider.

One of his updates:

I am so sorry to my current backers. I must cancel the run. I was a bit ill prepared. I did not know how expensive it was to print a deck of cards. I am currently getting help from a fellow kickstarter on getting my first run. Once I have all the details, I shall return with a new kickstarter project and ready for production run.

I will push out a update on this one to inform you guys when the new post comes.

Again, I'm truly sorry.


All that I can say is WOW!! "I didn't know how expensive it was to print a deck of cards"? So he just threw out a number? Wow...just wow.

Frankly, I'm not surprised at all. At least he had enough sense to cancel it when he realized he wasn't prepared. I don't think anyone else has even done that before, at least not stating it. Many should have.

Things like this always make me feel warm and fuzzy inside ( Heavy Sarcasm). So they are starting a project and taking people's money and they don't know what the hell they are doing? You gotta love Kickstarter. Another campaign troll who should be avoided at all cost.

Thanks!
