It’s supposed to represent the sadness that the townspeople felt when the Pied Piper led their children away as retribution for not being paid.

Roughly mid February now. Waiting on one last sample tuck from B&N in Italy then Chris Moyer is taking pictures. We will be able to launch then.

I understood the emotion, it was just that the sameness of the profile, tilt, mouth, nose and eye, jumped out at me

Now that HB's pointed it out, despite some small shading differences, the King's face looks just like the Jack's but with a beard and different hat. Maybe they are twins? I still love the style so waiting to see how it all shakes out with the other courts.

Absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to this one, Cavaliers and Cyclopeans the most, out of all upcoming deck releases.

Sure, but we haven't received them in-hand yet.

Ah thanks for clarifying

Good news on timing. We are quite a bit closer. Sending sample tucks, cards, and most add-ons to Chris Moyer next week. He’ll take pictures in the coming week or two. I will need to use the pictures to finish the campaign page and video. The page is pretty much ready except for putting in pictures. We’ve got enough to launch after that, but will continue to refine a few things before production. That’s one thing we’ve done differently with this campaign is producing a sample of just about everything before launching. I’m hopeful that will save time and frustration on the back-end. Thanks for your patience and interest!
