Blvck Spades Playing Cards live on Kickstarter

Egyptian themed deck, first time creator, going to use EPCC, rather nice artwork.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Seriously, blVck? :roll:

Anyhow, the campaign is a bit confusing. The first thing you see is a black tuck boxed deck and the campaign name is Black Spades. But the standard tier deck is a red one... other than that, a solid deck with good/decent artwork. To get to my wallet there had to be some more at the face cards though. Pass.

Not bad at all. But thanks to JR's moving sale, PCD's clearance sale and 2 Lotrek decks, I'm all wiped out.

F&*k, that artwork is amazing, but the name of the deck is awful. Decisions...

Is it pronounced Black or Bluck? I set a reminder, I would like to see what addons are available before I pledge. Like if there a set where I can get one of each.

Wait... Why is the deck called "Blvck Spades" when the spades are gold..? Also, why are the spades gold and the clubs black? I am f&*king confused and not pledging for these...

Besides being poker playing cards, they are apparently designed for a game called black spades. In that game the 2 of diamonds and all the spades are trumps, this is why they are golden and the clubs black. At least this is what I get from the campaign. Don't know that game either...

$20 for one non-standard deck shipped? Not quite good enough for that price. Campaign deck names are also a little confusing in the reward tiers IMO.

Not a slam dunk for me, but I do like the courts and US$10 is reasonable... but $15 on top of that to ship a single deck to Canada is simple greed.

*No money for you*

We’ll see if it funds and see if the aftermarket has a more reasonable attitude to mail costs.

New limited edition exclusively released on Amazon the other day https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0815 ... UTF8&psc=1

New side opening tuck and apparently some other minor changes I believe, printer not listed but I assume it's the same as before. Pricey as hell though, $25 shipped but seems no international shipping.

Did anyone pick up one of these? How do they handle?

I see from the official product pages that the side-loading tuck pictured above was just a limited edition version. The standard versions all have regular tuck boxes.

In 2020 they also created a customized version of this deck specifically for DJ Demp to commemorate the 23rd annual Demp Week, which are similar to the standard versions, but with a slightly different tuck box.

These guys have now produced a number of decks that are part of the Blvck Spades family, all with the ancient Egypt theme, and with customization of certain cards for playing Spades:

Here's a look at an uncut sheet from one of the decks:

I've used a few of these decks now, which are printed in China, and the quality and handling of the cards is solid.

This foil backed version with all female courts looks pretty cool.
