I don't see why it wouldn't It's not like the goal was $5k.

Reasons for doubting is that: most playing card projects, they either have 300% up to 1000%, so they have much money to spare for any backups. Although, in case like this, only 2% above 100%, it's a bit worrying as they can't afford screwups in productions

I might be right, I might be wrong

-Final card preparation files are being made by Dalibor for Cartamundi production.

-Final card preparation files are being made by Dalibor for Cartamundi production.

If the files have not been sent to Cartamundi yet, and given the Cartamundi factory relocation, I'm afraid that there may be delays in fulfillment.

Marvelous Decks wrote:Good evening! We hope that this update finds you having a wonderful week. Production efforts have been pushing along with House of Whispers components. First to let you know, we have received drawer boxes from our manufacturer (they look simply amazing!) for the HOW decks…

Next to be finished up are the outer slip boxes and Colors of Light tucks. The wooden collectors boxes are finishing up soon as well.

The HOW dice sets arrived (they are also beautiful!)

We have received some disappointing news from Cartamundi (that is totally out of our control) that although they have had our completed files, their production move from Belgium to Spain will not be complete until the end of December, which unfortunately has postponed our playing card production until beginning of the year.

Cartamundi’s production has stopped in Belgium and are moving ALL European playing card production to Spain.

Cartamundi says, “This decision is all about making sure you get the top-notch service you deserve and holding ourselves accountable for any past issues. Your satisfaction and loyalty mean the world to us, and we're fully committed to providing you with the best products and experiences.”

We believe that although this slows down our fulfillment, Cartamundi’s stock, finish and foil capabilities are the best in the world, therefore allowing them to produce these decks with their highest level of care is what we desire for this product for you.

Until then, we will complete all of the other components needed here in the USA while awaiting the playing cards to fo into full production. We know they will be stunning once that is finished.


Thanks again for your continued support and updates to follow in the coming months. Have a Marvelous start to the new week

These are in the queue at Cartamundi, that's why there hasn't been any updates lately. I wouldn't be worried. I haven't heard any news about the status of Cartamundii's new factory from anyone, so I'm expecting extra delays from every card project that is using them.

Yes, to us consumers, it doesn't matter. But for businesses, time is money. And major delays like these can result to loss of money. And can then result to cutting losses and project abandonment.

Didn't age that well, I guess.
