The House of the Rising Spade

[supernova]

I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but I actually quite like the new slim-line B9. For one, the cards seem to hold up better under use/abuse. I do hope the tuck box will get a significant enough change to differentiate it from the V1.

Will get a couple.

[laitostarr777]

And what makes me discouraged of getting this new version is because: it said to be released on Stockholm17's webstore, which sadly won't ship to Indonesia - I have to have it shipped to someone before it gets to me :/
Last time, that is how I get Room 17

Rare Playing Cards will have half of the print run, so maybe you can order from there. The price will be the same either way.

We will see later, hope the 2nd edition is really worth getting

Hi all!

for those who are wondering about the differences between v1 and v2, here is the list:

• New tuckbox diecut (glued on bottom)
  Different tuckbox paper stock (Lotrek's suggestion for a different one for technical reasons)
  Different bottom-flap design.
  Different top-flap design.
  Inner print: similar, with differences.
  Ace of spades: date in roman numeral becomes MMXX instead of MMXVIII.
  Ace of spades: small tweaks to the illustration.
  55th card: 3rd Joker is The Fool from Keymaster Tarot adapted to poker size.
  Paper Stock: B9 slimline instead of the discontinued B9
  Tuckbox is a little thinner (1mm less)
  cards have cellophane with golden tier strip
  Uncut sheets will be available as well.
  Faro variant will not be reprinted.
  Custom HOTRS brick boxes not reprinted

As you can see it is NOT another variant of the series. It is a 2nd edition, same as the 1st one with some changes. Like a book or comic series that are reprinted.

Definitely an occasion to get some spares. But I will honestly miss the thickness of the original card stock very much. Last month I started to pile up decks with that stock to spare some for future generations. Original Copag 310, Green Keepers, Flaminko decks (Watermelon etc), Regalia etc. I even consider buying another brick of Parlour. If anyone has some tips for affordable decks with that stock/finish, please, let me know.

Hey, you can always try the S'pore or M'sian online shops first to see how much it'll cost to get it to you. Cardvo, www.games4youuu.com or www.themagicstreet.com may carry the deck. G4U is very active on FB so you can check with them if they plan to carry the deck.

[Bradius]

I am not sure about rareplayingcards.com, but they will also have the decks available for sale. They might be able to ship to Indonesia. If not, I wouldn't be surprised if some are available elsewhere in Asia that resell them.

I know Cardvo usually would be my best option, but remember, they don't have everything... from what I've seen, they are more off selling more Cardistry decks
I will find a way to get this 2nd Version. Yes, I think I changed my mind -3- , but I won't go on speedy on this

Wow, this is a comforting update about this 2nd edition - at least we know about the changes.
Seeing the tuckbox and it made me realized - you can opened the deck from the bottom XD

I just received my wonderful Intricuts deck showcasing the awesome Jack of Spades. Thanks Richard. My poor photo doesn't do it justice.

[Adonael]

The only uncut I ever wanted, that's exciting! The demand for this deck must be incredible to warrant a second edition, and rightly so as it seems to be a favourite of most collectors including myself.

Cartomancer v3 in collaboration with Rare Playing Cards

S17 and RarePlayingCards.com (RPC) have decided to reprint The House of the Rising Spade Cartomancer variant. This deck was my best seller and won the 2019 deck of the year award. It's also a highly sought-after deck by many.

The reprint will be almost identical to the previous variant; in fact, I'm not changing anything significant. I've had to make some adaptations because it will be printed by WJPC.

Additionally, some improvements will be made. For instance:

• The geometric graphics on top of the court cards will be in gold foil instead of white.
• The tuck box will remain mostly the same, with some minor changes, and the foil might be slightly different from the original version.
• Moreover, a 4th joker will replace the double backer.

The deck is expected to be ready for sale hopefully by the end of June and will be available exclusively at Stockholm17 and at the RPC online store as part of the deal.

Just stay tuned!

[Harvonsgard]

That’s lovely news.

[Timmargh]

I'm still stinging from when I was searching for a Cartomancer uncut sheet – I even asked Lorenzo – and managed to find one that cost me an original Golden Oath as a trade … and then he released v2 about two months* later.



* I can't remember exactly but it wasn't very long.

[mulrich]

Did the 3rd edition ever get released? I don't think so based on looking at the Stockholm and RPCs websites but thought I'd check.

Ya, June of what year. Another exciting release from S17. It will sell out just like the Golden Frogs.

[Evilgamer]

I dont think hes said anything about this deck after about April.

[mulrich]

Maybe the EotO2 campaign is using up all his attention.

hes been doing several things, there was an Eoto2 "whoops" update today, the new parlour the cyclops deck.

Also maybe some of the KWP deck but I kind of get the impression that Jackson/KWP wasnt really ready to do that yet.

[Evilgamer]

HOTRS v3 is releasing tomorrow on S17 site and I have to imagine on rareplayingcards at the same time or shortly after since its a collab between the two.

1,500 decks up for grabs so it shouldn't be a rush.

Lorenzo said in the mail to patrons he doesnt expect it to sell out quickly (but if it does expect a reprint).

WJPC is the printer, all the decks are gilded

[laitostarr777]

Still the same design though? I remember seeing the design where the courts will have a name and its quad pips? Was it scratched?

The only difference I can spot is the addition of the artwork from Keymaster Tarot’s The Sun.

NOOOOOOOO then I will probably never get one, unless im lucky enough when there’s leftovers

someone asked about that on patreon

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before as I haven't been keeping a close eye on Patreon, but what is the reason for using IIII instead of IV in the roman numerals?

arbitraty. In Tarot they use additive system IIII instead of subtractive IV

I am a big fan of Lorenzo's work, and I am already working with him to bring this deck in. The price will be slightly higher since it's a partnership with RPC.

Fun bit of trivia… many traditional watches use IIII instead of IV for the number 4. Very few people where traditional watches anymore but this used to be something you could point out that nobody knew even though they looked at their watches everyday.

Selective viewing or intentional blindness. If you are not looking for it or alternatively looking for something else, then it can easily be overlooked. Same phenomena as not being able to find something right in front of your face. Many husbands experience this when looking for something in the fridge and ask their wife where it is.
