The red DKNG was one in the first batch of custom decks I've ever got.
This release will definitely be a welcomed one marking a milestone for me.

[Entaro]

So it's a set?

[Bikefanatic]

I wonder if this for Pride Month or something? Whether it is or not, I want them if they're similar to the previous ones or a lil' different.

Now I'm just confused. The box set looked like 6 decks each a different color, based on the color of the tucks at least. Could the rainbow back be a 7th deck, or are all 6 decks in the box set the same rainbow back just in different color tucks? We'll know soon enough...

Thanks for sharing the pics, I've never bought a DKNG deck before, but this set looks so colorful and fun I may have to.

[Edit]
Dorking around on Instgram I see people saying it's one deck in 6 different color tucks.

They are all the same cards with different tucks. If you buy them individually, they send you random colors, but a set will obviously get you the full spectrum.

Got it, thanks for the confirmation! So it's one single print run, re-tucked 6 different ways. We're all familiar with the classic re-color, but I can't think of decks recently that have been the same cards in just different colored tucks. Maybe the Players editions of the various KW decks, etc.

So the question is, are we playing card collectors or tuck box collectors?

[Entaro]

I think in this case it's a bit different since it's matching the concept of it being rainbow colored so I don't mind it in this instance personally

[MagikFingerz]

So the question is, are we playing card collectors or tuck box collectors?

I think this is something every collector ask themselves at some point. And it's perfectly reasonable to be either or both.

[Bikefanatic]

If I could pick just one color, it'll be the purple/violet tuck because half of the set tuck colors (red, yellow and blue) already exists. Better off getting the whole set.

It reminds me when I get that Bicycle Full Moon back then, and i foolishly opened all the editions to find all the cards are the same X.X

King's Wild Project did pretty much this exact same thing with the re-release of the VHS/1982 deck. They (well, Jackson) tweaked the back of the original VHS "shorts" deck to add a virtual "Be Kind; Rewind" sticker to the image of the VHS tape. Then, he took this slightly modified deck and packaged it in five distinct cases, each one looking very similar to specific brand cases that were popular back in the day. When it was first offered for sale, you could buy a complete set -- each deck having matching seal numbers -- for a couple bucks off. Or, you could purchase the decks individually with your choice of case.

I confess to having picked up a complete set, knowing that they were all the same deck just with different cases, and this was more out of appreciation of the art of the cases (and my own nostalgia) than out of any particular adoration for the cards themselves. The cards, in this case, are okay. But, I had to do some soul searching, and reasoned that I am not, in general, inclined to support this approach.

The problem with this "Pride" or "Rainbow" DKNG set is that some of the colors of the tuck have already been used for previous decks, so it looks like you could end up with a red or a blue or a yellow tuck that resembles the previously released red or blue or yellow versions, but the deck contained inside would NOT be the red or blue or yellow version of the originals. That's... unfortunate.

I've always been a fan of the DKNG decks, and this one looks like a fine addition to the line. I don't like the approach they are taking with the tucks, and so I'll likely pick up a few individual decks and figure out how to tell the difference if those tucks match any of the previous releases.

... I'll likely pick up a few individual decks and figure out how to tell the difference if those tucks match any of the previous releases.

I think it should be easy to tell the difference. The new tucks not only have the rainbow seal, but have embossed (I think) foiled designs. You can see it better on their instagram and below. They look embossed at least, I'm not 100% sure.

I really want to shoot myself for this… when I received DKnG Rainbow Set (through a retailer), I got this:

Turns out, my rainbow is missing one color, so the blue is doubled. I forward this photo to Art of Play support, awaiting answers

[rousselle]

You may want to inquire with your retailer, as well.

[laitostarr777]

I’ve just got a reply from AoP, they are willing to just send me the green one, free of charge

But then, I have to open the set to get the green in and take the extra blue out. I wonder how to seal it back again

[hsbc]

The cards want to be freeeeeeeeeeee

Nice! I thought that's what AoP would do, if nothing else, they do have very good customer service. I understand your frustration about the unsealed box set, but at least you now can have an opened deck while still having a whole set of sealed decks

Or…. It can be cased in one of your products! You have a clear archival deck sleeve for this?

Unfortunately, none of the products I make won't work with the box set, all 6 decks fit perfectly in an X6 and you can display those tucks in their full glory

I purposefully edited this thread to include it, does it really need its own? I figured this is for any/all DKNG Wheels decks

[Eric Lee]

Only gold foil or will it also include gold metallic ink on the faces as well.

Since you put it like that, it makes sense since the decks are in different rainbow colors.

I only got one gold deck. I like to buy more than one deck at a time but I didn't want to miss out on this one like I did the black wheels deck that I got later on.

I'm surprised these are still for sale.. these have been out on public for months.. guess they haven't gotten much attraction at all..
