Hello! I'm afraid these will always be exclusive to Inner Circle members. In theory you can sign up, pick them up and leave, but they are exclusive to the store there.

Oh, if the Kickstarter exclusive decks goal is reached, can we just do an upgrade of existing decks to the exclusive deck? I'm not sure it would save anything, but I might go for a mixed brick and then upgrade two sets to the exclusive, or stay with the half brick and just add on another half brick. Trying to figure things out before EB's end.

That's the plan but it rests on my interpretation of the features of the add-on feature on Kickstarter. I've only used it for blanket add-ons before, but it does appear I can tie specific add-ons to specific tiers so I could tie an upgrade to half bricks and bricks. That's the plan anyway.

If it doesn't work (there's no way of actually testing it, that would be too clever!) we'll figure out another way as I think it's a nice idea.

I recall reading something about “regular” versions of the Cult decks coming later? Is that right or are the current versions the only ones planned?

The regular nongilded versions were already released, and are currently sold out.

Even that was only for members. Cult was always promised as members only as it was funded with members fees.

So Anthony, perhaps I am having a "moment" and you may have explained this already, but are these going to be part of the ic packages? I apologize if I am being annoying!

Hi James! No these are separate from the IC. We tend to consider the IC an alternative funding model to Kickstarter so try and keep them separate to not confuse things, but as with heritage series we aim to have some little extra for IC members who support the campaign

Backed. Add my voice to the others clamoring for you to make the sketch work available in some form, as well.

I understand about the sketch work, but their are signed prints and uncut tucks available, so it is not all bad.

Project already funded! WooHoo. (As if there any doubt it would get funded)

This will be my first Jocu deck I believe. Gotta love that green.

I did see art prints are available, but I couldn't find any depiction of all the courts for me to know for sure I'll want any particular one, before adding on. Waiting until the survey is a bit late to be sure, unless we can add on then. Also, I think something that looks more portrait style, without index, might suit me even better, so I thought I'd mention it

I backed it up! This project better have a wolf in it or I will scurry away XD
(joking joking - whether there is a wolf or not, still in)

Am I one of the morons who can't figure out how to add-on properly, or are the triptychs already gone?

Edit: Yep it was me. Not much of a morning person.

To be fair it’s not actually that easy or logical

Follow the video in the update and it’ll show you

If you're an Inner Circle member, be sure to go check the IC forum for important info I can't share here

Thanks for the heads up, and also, daaaamn.

Is that a good daaaamn, or a bad daaaamn?

Very good, very nice

A very good daaaamn.

Holy wow. The IC news is... very nice indeed.

I am SO FREAKING HAPPY They have a wolf in this deck series~
Oh as well, there is fox - rabbit - lizard - snake~

It is definitely hits home for me

Just a quick note that the campaign closes in 22 hours. Last call for those that want to back this campaign.

Call me nuts but I like the "original" tucks better than the triptychs. So I'm lucky I get to save a little money and still be very happy with my purchase.

Things are about to get crazy for us - tucks are ready! We received our first batch today and so assembly can commence next week. As we are waiting on the reprints of Moonrise and the main deck shipment (we decided to hold off delivery as there's no use us having an incomplete shipment which we're unable to then deliver - this is the largest order we've ever placed with Cartamundi and space would be an issue for those interim weeks!) we can now start assembling the tucks themselves in anticipation of receiving the decks.

Gluing the tucks is most of the assembly work, with the cello taking up about 30% of the time to gluing's 70%. So we'll get a nice head start ahead of what we expect to be an end of month receipt of the decks.

Will take some better pictures tonight and tomorrow for sharing in a proper KS update along with the shots of the IC variant for members. Looking forward to sharing how they came out we're blown away!

Wow... the bottom pic is the IC version?

Wrong, that is the Kickstarter Triptych

IC is black with copper and holo. Seen it, love it!

Seconded. The stars and the moon are the holo part. It looks fantastic. I know you're not generally a fan of holo Harv, but it really works on this. I'd share a picture, but they had asked not to. They're shipping in April though, so I'll post a pic then.

My only gripe with diffraction foil is the general trend chasing and the distasteful usage of it. Two points that I'm never worried about when it comes to Jocu. They'll make it work. I have no doubts.

Holo used just to join the bandwagon train:
“Ohh right… another holo deck, oh joy ”

Holo used to make things special and to follow the concept:
“It’s beautifullll ”
