Quick question. when considering a deck like Golden Spike for example, do all of the variations count? What I mean is Black Ink, Standard, Gold LE? The same goes for other KS decks that had multiple variations. Sorry for the confusion! :oops:

Thanks buddy. Looks like I have an old version of the list. :oops: Now I gotta start over..... :(


EDIT: A better example would be Dia De Los Muertos. The Painted deck would be a strong candidate for best use of colors but the black variation would not. Thanks again for the help!

But Dia De Los Muertos would be as a set not each deck individually, right Kai? Standard and LE decks were grouped together?

I agree. I suppose the distinction is more than one campaign, at least that works for KS decks.

Anything (just like the Prohibition set) that was all in one project is not a series in my mind.

Yeah, I agree. I got so many KS items over the past two weeks that I put it aside until I can go look and see what's supposed to be mine and what was intended to be prize.

Let me go look at my survey response so I know which is which. It's safe to say that there are several pounds of items in the package.

When voting for Best Crowdfunded Campaign does the campaign need to be fulfilled by end of 2014 or just funded in 2014?

This is going to be crazy! I have no idea how the votes will turn out and I'm pretty interested to see what happens. :lol:
Something around fifteen hours left for votes to be cast, I think. I hope many more come flooding in. A lot of fun. :D

LOL... The winners of the categories isn't too bad, it's figuring out who gets how many points that is the cross-eyed part! I'm glad Kai is in charge of the tally of the scores.

Kai can win a prize, but I can't. That's why he always submits his votes first, before anyone shows their cards. ;)

Spreadsheets can be amazing, hopefully Kai is using some kind of system or has help. Doing that manually would be even worse. ;)
