Lorenzo is on a roll. He never disappoints with his decks, and this is no exception. His KS campaigns are always run first class without excessive delays. He might be the only remaining artist where it's an automatic buy for me. Uusi used to be there as well, but they don't really do playing cards anymore and I'm not into tarot. Would a Stockholm17 and Uusi collaboration be too much of a fantasy? If my house was on fire and I could only save decks from one single designer from my collection, I think Lorenzo's decks are the ones I rescue.

He gave a three month window to solve the quest. Plenty of time and waited for the vast majority of people to have it in hand first.
ok. The rewards are picked randomly from the people that solved it? I thought it was the first 3 people or something alike.

He puts all the people who solved it into that randomized "spin the wheel" thing and runs it thrice.

Last time I was one of 27 who solved it so the odds of winning was 1/9. Took me a few days. This time, I haven't been able to solve it at all and I'm frustrated. There's something I'm missing that's keeping me stagnant.

Keep trucking along and you'll make progress. You're a quick wit.

That’s correct. All solvers get entered into a pool and three are randomly selected.

Doesn't matter how slow or fast you are at solving. In the end, it's a matter of the roll of the dice X.X

If everyone received their decks/books etc. at the same time then being the quickest to solve it would be fair, but a randomised pick is the fairest that Lorenzo could make it.

Yeah that would give an unfair advantage to certain regions over others. Someone solved the puzzle before I had even received my pledge.

Appreciate the heads up @Strag. Got me some stuff of this superb project. Cartamundi being out for this project was the best to ever happen for me personally. WJPC handling's just so much nicer. Handling the decks is just 😘👌. Not mentioning the artwork because... well, it's Lorenzo we're takling about so everyone knows it's A++. Cards and tuck boxes have so much clean and crisp details to unravel and discover... 😘👌 again.
