Yep, it's 3 hours from coast to coast, but NYC / Eastern time is three ahead of Pacific.

It really works best these says if you just state "Eastern" or maybe use UTC/GMT. As always http://TimeAndDate.com is your friend if you are not in the time zone stated. It's especially confusing for European and Asian people because we started going to what they call "summer time" before we even get to spring about two or three years ago - and hang onto it an extra six weeks after they go back to standard, if they change at all. Many foreign timezones do not adjust at all.

Don't forget it's Zulu time too.

Not only me but Pierre too

I'm in for these.

And I'm interested enough to be promoting them on Kickstarter too, as shown below in a way that I hope others will copy to increase the number of backers for these decks:



But I'd still like them even more if the Spades and Clubs pips were black instead of blue.

Hello all!

I hope you're all doing well. We are launching very soon so i thought I'd post a few more photos here and give you a little insight into our EB Special!

For our Early Birds, 200 Individual decks of cards will be available for $10USD each.

Since we are from Australia, the campaign will be in AUD, just to keep that in mind. For your convenience we've put the converted prices in USD in the pledge options, just so you know what you're paying

Here are some more photos!

With 200 EBs available, I think it safe to say that even Victor will get one and we will be spared the complaining... Ok Ok I'm behaving now

Are you sure about that?

Looked at the pictures. I've gone from being "yeah, I'm going to pledge for some" to "Oh, yeah. Definitely going to pledge for some."

Nice work on these. I like the detail on the art; I like that the color combos are a *little* different without being totally whack. I like the detail on the tuck, as well.

Thank you man! We're glad that everyone's enjoying these

Just adding to what I said earlier - on the Early Birds we are offering free shipping in the USA!

I hope some of those early bird deals are for more than one deck at a time... like, say, three decks, etc.

Hello everyone!

1 Hour to go! We are extremely excited and anxious, we hope this goes well! I will post a link here as soon as the project goes live.

thanks for the reminder. It had skipped my mind today. I'll be there.

No preview?

Nevermind, it's now live! And I beat Pierre for once!

nevermind. The lack of AUD confuses me.

Love the design, but at $15 shipped to Australia? Hell no. Really disappointed.

I'm glad to hear you like the design! Our decks are being fulfilled by Art of Play and each pledge is sent out from California, USA. That is why the price to Australia is what it is. For $17AUD you can have three decks shipped

Yeah, I'm just glad I have people I know in the US that I can ship stuff to.
But I guess if you want quality produce you have to put up with this kind of thing. USPCC is so much nicer than our Queens Slipper cards

Just the thought of queen slippers make me nauseous.....

Yeah, the glossy cardboard is fine for playing cards with mates, but not so much for anything else. Especially when they get damp, or into the hands of a bad shuffler. Ick. Cards peeling in half.

No additional deck add-ons?

That's a good one. $15 shipping to Canada for 1 or 2 decks (+ the included US shipping). Well... no.

Now that KS supports it, I have been asking clients to separate US shipping, but it is a tough sell because the old way is "what everyone is used to" right or wrong.

Ugh, I hate that. I guess people really don't like change, even if it's for the better.

Hey guys we've sorted the add on problems. We're very new to Kickstarter so we apologise for the confusion. As for the prices to Canada, the shipping costs are issued by Art of Play. International shipping sucks guys, sorry, especially if you're just next door too.

Thanks to everyone who has backed and are enjoying the campaign, we really appreciate all of your support

The only problem is it includes US shipping but it seems to include US shipping then add on international shipping for some projects.

Time to do some homeworks about that and find a better fulfillment center. I think we are all aware about average shipping charge and these prices are ridiculous. I can't support that.

They seem to do that a lot still. It's not necessary to do, not that it was before, but I guess it's still a trend.
