Hello UC, we would like to present the complete overhaul of our project, The Elves Deck.
It is with great anticipation that we want to show you what we are about to launch on KS this coming week (October 6th @ 6PM GMT+2 / Midday NYC timezone).
Just for the tuck box we worked for over 6 months and tried different solutions. This until we found these very exclusive foils that are produced only in the UK and we chose them to be used for our tuck as they have some incredible nuances of green and gold, unmatched in any other sample we have seen. The paper used for the tuck is premium German paper, the best they had to offer, we chose only the absolute best material for this production.
Here you can see our magnificent tuck box, made by Boschiero & Newton, with 3 special hot foils and embossing.
And here's our back:
Aces & Pips:
& custom court cards (just the clubs, but each pip has different custom courts):
you can follow our project here:

and our instagram here:

If everything goes well we will produce gilded versions, in gold and green. For the gold gilding there will be another tuck box, with different foils.
Please note that this prototype was printed by MPC, while we will work with USPCC and use premium stock with metallic inks for the final production.

Re: The Elves Deck - Premium Quality Playing Cards
I get a very RS vibe with the tuck, in a good way! And I love the back design, even though I wish it weren't so monochromatic. I'm usually not a fan of these style of courts but I still think I might be in on this deck.

Re: The Elves Deck - Premium Quality Playing Cards
I have to say I love the tuck but I don’t feel the same about the courts. It’s just not a style I enjoy. That being said I wish them well on the campaign.

Re: The Elves Deck - Premium Quality Playing Cards
Thanks so much for the positive feedback and encouragement, we truly appreciate!
We understand that the artwork style is a very subjective matter but we can only add that when you see them in your hands, they are absolutely gorgeous, with very vibrant colours. Even with the prototype made by MPC the results were great so we know that with USPCC and metallic ink, they will be look even better. We launch tomorrow afternoon at 6PM GMT+2 (midday @ New York City timezone)

Re: The Elves Deck - Premium Quality Playing Cards
Normally I would not like this style of courts either, but somehow it's working for me here. The front of the tuck make me think of leprechauns though, probably due to the font choice.
Overall, very nice deck!

I've spent way more than I care to admit on playing cards, but I'll still buy just about anything that Lorenzo, Jackson, or Gio make.

The feedback has been great so far, and we are almost funded!
