Kalevala Playing Cards

I really like this tuck, other than the name of the deck itself. IMO it either needs to be another color, or maybe (bronze prehaps) foiled, to stand out from the rest of the same-colored details.

There will be a limited edition deck with foil, embossing & gilding along with this standard edition deck.

So this render is kind of a "Display Edition"? I am okay with that.

Oh hey, this is tomorrow morning! Sweet! Can't wait to jump on board. I really like your projects.

Can we get a preview link?

Sure. Here you go.

Please note that the reward tiers are still a work in progress and at present only 2 (single deck pledge tier) are available on the page. Any feedback, suggestion or critique is appreciated.

Damn. That red tuck is amazing.

[Bradius]

Yes, I am really impressed with how this has developed and progressed. I like the new direction you have moved into. I am sure this will do well.

No details on your images. It could be a problem for some. KS image itself is just 680 pixels wide and you have 3 cards and lots of empty space around. Top image with two boxes is fine!

GL with the campaign!

Thanks...this helped Alex. Updated the page with more closeups....

Reward tiers are ready. I had got into a confusion because there are 2 fulfillment companies (Gamblers Warehouse & SFC involved) but now I hope all is sorted out.

Appreciate if anyone here can review the reward tiers to see in case I missed something.

Maybe you could add the half brick tier, for 6 Standard, 6 Limited and 3 Standard + 3 Limited.

Other than that it seems ok!
See you in a couple of hours!!

Good luck,

[Smocito]

Sunish, you forgot to add the value in US $ in the new reward tiers

Nice catch. Thanks.

I do hope all non-US backers will still like the shipping price for standard decks across all reward tiers.

[guru]

Live now.

[sms69x]

Done!

Let's make it happen.

[Spectre]

I'm In. Looks fantastic Guru!

[guru]

Thanks guys...

[Bradius]

Well, this opening slipped by me for awhile for some reason. Someone quickly grabbed that sword tier. Wow. that was a swift swipe

I went for the 4 limited deck tier as it was not much more than the 2+2 EB, and get two more gilded decks. Two of the four slots for the 12 limited decks tier are gone (which works out to less than $15 each per gilded decks - a great average price). Nice start! The limited decks are going fast.

[guru]

Brad - Yes. Got a message for that sword tier from two other backers too.

The addon process for decks is bit tricky as there are being fulfilled from GW & SFC. In case of someone backing limited tier and would like to add at least one standard USPCC deck, then they can add AU$20 to their pledge if they are in US. Hope it clarifies.

The YouTuber name magicorthodoxy just made a video about this deck of cards about 3 to 4 hours ago it should be his first video

[ICantShuffle]

I'm in for a 2x2 pledge! But, considering a mixed half brick.

I really hope this gets funded, such an awesome deck!

[flashcards]

I as so glad that you decided to go with USPCC for the standard. Now I can finally support one of your projects without reservation.

Yes, just saw that. Endersgame also did a pictorial review as well. Here is the link for his review on UC.

Magic Orthodoxy's review of the prototype deck:

[guru]

For International backers, I'm also looking into the option of getting these shipped using <country> friendly shipping methods. So, for EU as an example, these might ship using Deutsche Post or something similar within Europe itself.

Can't promise as it all depends on the volume first. But, I do hope international backers are liking the prices offered even on standard decks to be shipped by Gamblers Warehouse. Let's see how it goes.

Endersgame also did a pictorial review as well. Here is the link for his review on UC.

Sunish gave me the opportunity to check out a prototype deck - it's fantastic. I did some background reading about the Kalevala (which I knew nothing about prior to this project), and the cards are true to this epic poem, and there's some lovely artwork here.



All the characters on the court cards are from the epic, and the old school style and antique look really suits the subject material:

I’m in for a pair! Really interesting decks.

[MagikFingerz]

Glad I was able to get an EB pair. Looking forward to these!

[guru]

77% funded. Fingers crossed. Thanks to everyone in UC who are supporting it.

Somebody dropped the Wooden Sword tier, which is now available.

[guru]

Hey everyone...just posted an update with more add-ons as well as stretch goals preview announcement. Planning to get custom stamp and copper foiled tuck on the USPCC deck.
