The Trial of the Blackbeard by Anti-Faro

[TorresOVER]

Hi United Cardists,

Torres's here, glad to tell you that the Anti-Faro team is preparing their next project "The Trial of Blackbeard"

Let me tell you more, this is a "Solo Puzzle-Solving playing cards", What does that mean? The card itself includes a game full of puzzles, mysteries, and riddles. You need to solve all of these to pass the Trial of Blackbeard. The average playtime now is 1 hr & 15 mins and the best record is 45 mins.

So what's after you pass it? There'll be a special prize for the first 500/1000/2000 winners. We're not sure what's it, but there's a high chance the treasure of the game will be a unique design deck / Mini-deck. We'll make sure the deck itself a LIMITED, NON-SALE, and FREE. You will also know your ranking after you solve the game.

Besides the game, the deck itself comes with a POP-UP tuck box of coping "The Queen Anne's Revenge" from Blackbeard and Gold & Silver foiling (The prototype in the photo has not foiled yet), Fully Custom design & UV ACTIVATED design, only appearing when under UV light.

We just sent the prototype to some testers to get more feedback, we'd love to hear more advice from you guys too

Uploaded a very small part of the puzzle on Patreon a few weeks ago, and it's time for more people to test it out

And more sneak peek for you

We just launched the Trial of Blackbeard.

Alright Im in, I appreciate structuring the campaign in a way that you only buy what you wanted to buy and didn't have to get the standards or non-deck items to get the special edition decks.

But If I was more of a non-deck "stuffs" collector the boxes are actually a pretty good deal anyway.

I'm surprised how long it took me to scroll just to see the front of the cards.

Anti-Faro tends to put a lot of effort into their campaigns and delivers relatively quickly. I'm sure backers will be happy with this one.

IMO, the seafaring theme is overdone at the moment. Not for me.

Oh, dear! I only skimmed so apologies if I misconstrued, but it seems I have to go all in on a Plunderer pledge if I wanted to play the game? I did go for an EB Plunderer for the early bird pricing, but since I'm only a casual collector, I might end up changing my pledge to just nab a single standard copy.

For the clue game? Just Either of the special edition decks.

There is also a puzzle in there somewhere but it’s just that. A physical puzzle.

A few updates & upgrades for ya, Extra Foil parts on the tuck, the prototype of the coin and there'll be a theme song

[Honeybee]

The coin looks interesting!
A theme song? Surely you jest matey

[hsbc]

and there'll be a theme song

Hmmmmm has anyone ever incorporated those musical birthday card speakers with a tuck box?

[balrog326]

Is there any chance a US backer would be willing to pick up an extra rotating coin for me? I could send the money now in advance I just didn't want to have to also buy a deck just to get the coin but if I have to I will, not to mention the shipping is rather high on the campaign page, at least for myself. $10 shipping for a $14 deck is alot.

The Trial of Blackbeard! The game officially started yesterday after we posted the latest update. We’ve made some minor tweaks and improvements thanks to feedback from testers, and I hope all of you enjoy the experience.

Here’s the most updated version of the clue letters:
