Nice concept but artwise not for me.

Re: The Cartographer: A Puzzle Journey in Luxury Playing Cards
Yeah, I understand that this is a VERY non-traditional deck of cards. While it is a completely playable deck, it doesn't have most of the traditional features that a magician, cardist, or gambler might want -- it's really for the puzzle/gamer and card enthusiast. But I greatly appreciate the compliment on the "nice concept"! Thanks!

Re: The Cartographer: A Puzzle Journey in Luxury Playing Cards
You have some interesting design elements but something doesn't quite work for me. Wish I could put my finger on it... but it doesn't "speak" to me. Even if I did like it though, the shipping would stop me as it basically doubles the price for two decks as I'm in the UK.
I also like the coins, but $20 each plus $5 more for shipping each is quite a lot, especially when the renders aren't really doing them justice as to what they might look like.
In any case, good luck with your project.

Re: The Cartographer: A Puzzle Journey in Luxury Playing Cards
Hi! I appreciate your input -- especially about the shipping -- I'm working right now with Kickstarter to determine the best way to lower the shipping fees on tiers that already have pledges (these are normally locked). I am DEFINITELY planning to offer an option for lower shipping ... we just need to iron out the details.Strag wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 5:14 am You have some interesting design elements but something doesn't quite work for me.

For those of you who don't know, Todd also does a fantastic job photographing cards from decks and then overlaying them onto a template. His compilations come out phenomenally and offer a great glimpse at cards others may keep sealed. He was even kind enough to explain his process to me and very willing to help me understand. https://www.instagram.com/lonelyjokerscards/

Re: The Cartographer: A Puzzle Journey in Luxury Playing Cards
I was just looking at this campaign again on the weekend. I am crazy for 'map' decks and I like everything about this one BUT the Courts were so not to my liking, I just couldn't
