Miami Gorillas playing cards now on Kickstarter!

The Gamble Art team is in the business of creating a large collection of playing cards, named after the most emblematic cities in each state in the U.S.A.

https://gamble-art.com/51-decks-colleci ... amble-art/


We invite you to join us on this fascinating journey over the course of the next 3 years! Our goal is to create a new deck of playing cards almost every month. You can see the status of each deck on the website. It will change as we create more and more decks.


When all 50 cities are immortalized in the decks of playing cards, you will have one dark horse waiting for you, namely the 51st deck!

Gamble Art set a very ambitious goal a year ago to make a deck of playing cards for each of the U.S. states. The collection will include 51 decks of cards. Why 51? Because everyone who joins this fascinating journey will be in for a surprise at the very end-- certain dark horse!


We plan to build the entire collection in 3 years and your support will help us meet this goal! For us, Gamble Art is more than just playing cards. We are a team totally dedicated to crafting one-of-a-kind creative products that are beautiful and fun to use.


We see 51 City Names as a great creative project with fantastic collector's value.

Each deck of cards has its own personality and story. Decks contain imaginatively designed collectible cards, and more!


- Playing cards from the "51 city names playing cards" collection

- Unique design

- Hand-drawn, custom courts and pips in neon style

- The symmetric backside design

- GAFF card included

- 54 poker-sized cards (52 cards + 1 Joker card+ 1 Gaff card)

- B9 Genuine Linen Finish

- Exclusive edition only for Kickstarter

Oh no. This cannot be real. Oh man, I just checked...it IS real. Move over Pixel Clown, a new bar has been set. Boy oh boy, I can't wait for the other 50 decks. I'm going to have to make some room in my crowded collection for these. Lotrek, you're out buddy.
I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.

The description says they plan on dong a new deck about every month. Considering this one is a 45 day campaign, they'll have a Kickstarter going for this project without interruption for the next 3 plus years straight, with some of them overlapping. With all of them needing to get backed. That seems...... extremely optimistic.

Oh lol, seem like it's extremely pessimistic for real then, i will have to apology to the team.

Still, this raise a wholenother question: if they do a new campaign every 45 days, does that means we will have a new decks on hand every 45 days also? I think that's hardly possible due to the logistic requirements. Also would it be possible to control which funding goes to which campaign, Fulfillment combination for several decks at once or solving issue for losing packages/ damage decks?

I am just abit more skeptical with big ambitious campaign after my burn with Origin 3d deck, that one shows how quick an established name can crumble due to unexpected circumstances and lack of planning ahead...

I would guess they plan to do multiple decks at a time. Whatever their plan, it's a dumb idea and not a very appealing deck. Telling people there are this many decks to collect at least gives people a very good reason not to get sucked in to start with. Add to that collector burn out and the multiple shipping costs (at kickstarter prices!) and this is looking very shaky already. Of course, no matter how dumb an idea, it'll make money if there are enough people even dumber.

Damn... Those made me speechless - not in any kind of the good way.
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.
