I recall in another KS, Cartamundi (who is your printer) doesn’t do red gilding. Only gold, silver and holo.

We agreed with them and they said that they would make us any color without any problems!

Friends, support our project, there is still a little more to complete funding

As stated above, this project needs a bit more to reach its funding goal, which is quite a bit less than last time in a much simpler format. Please help if you haven't pledged.

Friends, we have 48 hours left before the completion of our project. We still have a few small steps to take to be funded. Only through joint efforts will we be able to bring this to life! Let's push and do it together.

A small introducing with our Decks:



Black Deck

American ERAS BLACK Deck. TUCK CASE. The tuck case is made from one of the best smooth black cardboard. This cardboard is double-sided and has a soft-touch coating. Two hot stampings are used for the pattern: gold foil and white foil stamping. Strategic embossing is also used for the tuck case.

CARDS. The premium casino-grade paper stock is used for playing cards. They are have a poker size (2,5"x3,5"). The cards have an Air-cushion finish that gives them maximum glide.





Red Deck

American ERAS RED Deck. TUCK CASE. The tuck case is made from one of the best smooth dark-red cardboard. This cardboard is double-sided and has a soft-touch coating. Two hot stampings are used for the pattern: gold foil and white foil stamping. Strategic embossing is also used for the tuck case.

CARDS. The premium casino-grade paper stock is used for playing cards. They are have a poker size (2,5"x3,5"). The cards have an Air-cushion finish that gives them maximum glide.





American Eras Eagle Deck (Esclusive)

An exclusive Eagle Deck of cards will be available when some stretch goals are reached.





Artist's work
All American ERAS characters were drawn by a professional artist based on all the historical aspects of America. It all started with a pencil on canvas and ended with a finished playing card. Before the drawing, all the details and attributes of the characters, their historical affiliations, character, and peculiarity were studied. Special attention was spent on the characters' clothing, piercing gaze, hand position, attributes, and color. All this made it possible to get the four beautiful American epochs, which were assigned their own suit in American ERAS playing cards.



I will be very grateful for your support.

Getting spam via private message is not something that sways me to back a project - quite the opposite.

What happened to the project? Looks like it was cancelled about a week ago...?

It wasn't going to get funded. So they wanted to redo the campaign with a lower goal. It was $7,000 on the last one and it had only raised $4,000. This one has a goal of $3,000. They said they were going to make some changes to the rewards and stretch goals too, though I haven't compared to see what those are.

Bummer. I hope they don't set the goal *too* low. Wouldn't want them to get caught with a commitment they can't afford to fulfill.

NEW CAMPAIGN

Decided to give this one my support.

EDIT: And I'm out. Too many cards recently...

12 hours left, very close to the goal.....

Didn't make it through the finish line...

It's a shame these didn't make it through the finish line, especially as this is the 4th or 5th attempt to fund them.

They only needed another $200.

I actually sent them a message yesterday with an offer which would have ensured they got funded but haven't heard back from them

$200 short? That is such a shame....
