"Fillide - A Sicilian Folk Tale" Versions 1, 2 and In Bloom

[Jocu]

Thanks for the feedback everyone! We're a little behind on this one as members know, but it's taken longer than usual to get things right with the tuck due to the unusual printing technique used. We are also waiting on the gilder who is a week or two behind.

These will not be available outside of The Inner Circle and we will only produce enough to cover current membership, so thanks again for the members that helped this happen and I look forward to getting your decks out! Stay tuned for updates this week.

[Jocu]

A few people have got in touch about getting these decks as new members or as future members.

Just to clarify those who sign up before the end of July are technically in line to get them, but if we approach our contingency we'll have to close memberships for the period.

Regardless this deck is a reward for supporting members, not future ones, so it has been restricted to the run numbers simply because that's the number we need to fulfil all current members. Yes we could have made more and sold them for more money, but that's not the point nor what we're about.

So don't go signing up after the end of the month expecting these decks, contact me first as we will be looking after current members first.

On the plus side the gilded decks have arrived today and it went very well, so we're well underway with assembly! Will get some pictures out soon but as we're waiting on the seals it will likely be in the week.

Thanks again for the patience from everyone, we're almost ready to start receiving the second deck in the diptych so it will be a busy few weeks and we're still looking on time for the August shipment

[Jocu]

Both boxes together - thanks for everyone who supported Fillide In Bloom and helped bring it to life!

Beautiful, can't wait to get them.

Whenever I see a Jocu tuck box it's an Oof-moment...
... in the most positive way.
That burgundy and copper...

Yep, that copper foiling is so very nice. Very attractive for sure. I honestly like copper better than gold when it comes to foiling, or even gilding. Along with the rich-looking burgundy, it's a lovely combination and I look forward to getting this deck.

f$%^ me those look nice. wish i liked the art on the cards as much.

[Fenrir]

Really looking forward to receiving my set. These are beautiful tucks with equally beautiful art inside.

Everything's arrived at SoCal so should ship this week the second decks are now ready at Cartamundi too so we're just waiting on those and then gilding and we may even ship on time

This week Under the Moon should be ready for pre-launch too and we have a few drops to do for general sale releases including a BIG 3-deck surprise next month. It's a busy summer for sure...

That is very exciting news! Really can't wait to see them in person.

I have been waiting for news about Under the Moon for some time. Really excited to hear pre-launch is coming. Definitely doesn't hurt to hear about a surprise 3 deck launch! Now my brain is trying to figure out what is coming.

These turned out even better than I expected. My package also included Cult Air & Earth and Onda Boschiero that I had ordered with delayed shipping. Was a pretty awesome day of opening.

I, too received a wonderful Jocu package yesterday but these weren't in it... I know I didn't order the "special" ones but I thought I got the regular ones? I guess I'm still a little confused with program but as long as I eventually get these, I'll be a very happy camper.

I'd email Anthony to double-check

Hi Paul! So this was actually the very late May package, and you're signed up for the August one.

We should chat though as I think this might not have been clear when we last spoke by email, so you can definitely get both as we aren't splitting the pairs up

Hello everyone!

Fillide Version 2 will soon be released to everyone, with three variants and multiple tweaks and updates whilst keeping the soul of Fillide : A Sicilian Folk Tale which will now be known as V1

Among the most important updates:

• Now printed on Slimline B9 Stock

• Enlarged indices for better playability

• New Boschiero and Newton Tuck Boxes with interior printing

• Improved, clearer back design and better metallic inks

• A third variant at launch - ARIA

Enjoy these snaps! If you'd like to pick up a discounted 2:2:2 half brick in a Jocu hot foil half brick box, you can get a pre-drop notification at this link















The last few Filled in Bloom sets will also be dropped for Inner Circle members soon, once everyone has received theirs.

[Harvonsgard]

I like the tuckbox of the new version but the backdesign colours are somehow not for me. I guess I'm fine with my V1s. ^^

Beautiful decks.

[Bradius]

Beautiful photos hsbc. Wow.

[GandalfPC]

What Bradius said.

Good to have you back in the saddle

[STLBluesNut]

beautiful tucks on those decks

[hsbc]

And here is the new colorway, Fillide Aria

[hsbc]

I was looking at these again, and noticed something...

"FIILIDE IN BLOOM"

All the "In Bloom" variations have it wrong on the side, it seems

[GandalfPC]

I think thats the Iirish spelling, could be Iitalian though

Yes... this was pointed out to us after the original fulfilment by felicity

Not the worst thing that can happen, but certainly a disappointing oversight with all the people involved in checking those files and tucks during the production! We've taken steps to avoid it happening again.

It's actually quite hard to see rather than your standard typo due to all the I and L together, but yes.

It's always nerve-wracking checking files as you always worry about a misplaced pip or index.

[Honeybee]

Well spotted hsbc

[Bradius]

I have dyslexia, and I didn't even see the problem after it being pointed out. It wasn't until Anthony's post that I was able to look again and see it. Glad I am not valuable for my word proofing skills.

I don't have dyslexia, I edited my school paper for a year at 18, and it took me a full 3 minutes of staring at the screen before I noticed it lol

I just thought it was funny (and indeed very hard to notice at all!), sorry if I'm rubbing salt on a wound instead
