Thanks Manu. Appreciated!

Fingers crossed it gets over the line!

Honeybee, If you’re reading, I really tried to amp up the jokers a bit - but just couldn’t land on anything in time for launch. Nonetheless, I appreciated the good feedback and the Drafting Board support generally. If I’m lucky enough to get a crack at v2, that’ll be my first order of business.

I'm impressed man! This doesn't have the look or feel of a first-time project. Can't wait to see what else you make bro!

Thank you both. Pretty exciting to be funded on day one!

My focus from here will be to get them made as good as humanly possible. I’m pretty confident that RoomOne and Letterpress will do a great job.

Received some prototypes for the wallet. They look fantastic.

Yes, we went with Room One but we met with a bunch of others. i really like the handling of their decks generally - especially Fox’s Wedding (the same stock we are using) - and the low impact gilding they used on Night Parade.

The particular type of foiling they used on Samuari Otter seemed like it would work best for what we wanted on the faces. They call it multicolour foil (Torres can correct me if I got the name wrong) but it’s a sort of refractive clear layer (similar to cold foil but not the same) which we think will work well for thin lines.

But, yeah, can’t argue that they’re definitely the new kid on the block so we haven’t seen their full bag of tricks yet.

We got a really good vibe from them - neither too quick to say no, nor too quick to say yes, if you know what I mean.

Like I said Im in (and a fan of fancy cards), make it good.

Is this the first deck that has/will come out outside of the collection program cards?

No, there are many decks outside of the Room One collection system already, like Warriors of Stars by Blue Moon & CK Chong (the cards are holo too). You can check them out here: viewtopic.php?p=248774&hilit=warrior#p248774
They'll be available on our online shop later this month.

Also, there are Make Believe playing cards by Patrick Kun and VK.Vich. Here's the link: https://www.roomonecards.com/online-sho ... 78ca5cac7b
Just a heads up, the deck was printed on vintage elite stock, which is super stiff, and we don't plan on using it again.

There's also Tree of Vanity by Tony Lee, our Patreon decks, and more.

OH!!!! Thank YOU for reminding me
Room One DID have cards with holographic foil - it’s just not produced under their name: it’s Warriors of the Stars by Blue Moon

I posted these over on r/playingcards too so apologies if I’m spamming folks in multiple locations - but excited to share these pics I took of some sample decks from Room One.

I think they did an amazing job - thank you @TorresOver and team!

Especially love how the two foil types and the gilding turned out - and the tiny printing on the faces which needed to be clear for the puzzle.

Handle great too (I gave them a pretty intense workout). Tuck boxes and wallets still being made but tracking to schedule.

I know these decks came in a standard edition too but it is a long time since I saw a deck more suited to gilding - they look 'beautiful as' Sin :ucstar:

Yes, Globetrotter should be available through X-Decks once backers are fulfilled - at least the wallet and the gilded/ungilded decks will be. We printed a surplus of each.
