The Fool's Court Playing Cards By Pocket Aces

Unread post by manu »



The Fool's Court presents a realm where whimsy meets majesty, and every card reveals a tale of Jesters, Kings, and Knights - beautifully presented in authentic period art.

Hidden within the deck also lies a secret: The cunning court jester has seized power, outwitting pompous knights, scheming nobles, and hapless advisors. Laden with medieval puns, the deck humorously reimagines courtly life with wit and charm.
Some screengrabs from the video:

Pocket Aces knocked it out the park! Looking at the tuck, my inner Chicano really wanted these decks to be called "The Foo" loooool.

I've never asked but any other Latinos in this community?

I'm also always checking if folks in/or around LA ever want to meet up :)

I dont think I've ever clicked on a thread here just to mark it read and then immediately come back at least not that fast.

This...seems to be ticking almost every box as they say on the preview....

Pocket aces makes cool cards. I’ll want to see the full deck before deciding on but I like what I’ve seen so far.

I've grabbed every KS from them so far, and looking at this, will very likely continue for this one. Love their decks.

I'm certainly intrigued. They've come up with some great desks and this is the furthest they've pushed the artwork as far as I can recall.

Weird to see the name of the deck wrapping around the tuck instead of just able to be read on face.

Probably a way to get you to buy 3 in a T configuration to get the full effect.

The T configuration would have to made up of 3 identical tuck editions to avoid a visual mix of character illustrations.

Thoughts now its live? I love how intricate it is but the pricing is a lot for where i am in life right now. it would cost me over £40 per deck including shipping ☹️ right this would be a no brainer for me but now i am struggling to see how i can afford it

Still in but I will deduct cool points for making the limited edition require buying something else (it is available as an individual addon not just in the larger pledges)

I couldn’t decide on which colour and the trio seemed like the best value. That being said, I doubt I need all three.

Now that I can see it fully...it's not really grabbing me. Sitting this one out for now. I've backed all of their campaigns but this one isn't doing it for me.

I’m not sure I 100% understand it either, but I don’t think so. I think it’s just saying they’ll collect and pay the VAT on your behalf, which is why the UK shipping is more expensive than other countries.

These are honestly so lovely it’s driving me insane. It would be £111 ish to get all three versions shipped. Do you folks think I’d have any chance securing them for less on a secondary market or no chance at all?

Probably not, Pocket Aces decks are usually only available on their own website (https://www.pocketaces.co/) and for more than the Kickstarter price
