Well I certainly hope so! That's very optimistic and I like the attitude. Everything can be measured in hours unless it's measured in minutes so I'm sure you'll get your wish.

I don't know why it's called fox when I see these suckers and anchors on it but it doesn't matter to me what you decide to call it. Could call it "Tooth Brushin Molasses V102.304 Hockey Hotel" and it wouldn't make any difference to me. You had me at Anchors! (the hand drawn suckers were just bonus.) Unless the price is stupid. Then you lost me at a stupid price because that's how the game goes. I got an uncle murph who has the hook up dig. What does the red fox say, Swimswim swim bloop bloopbloop bloop. I'll see you, bloop bloop bloop, twotwo twenty twenty. Anchors sway, that's what I always say.

TL:DR Me either, Fun with Emojis!

The art and colors are nice but I don't get it. Maybe someone might explain this to me but I'm not sure what an octopus has to do with a fox.

From all the myriad of planets in our universe both - fox and octopus - inherent the same planet at the same time.

On a serious note, I'll bet $5 that the inspiration comes from magic inspired decks like If an octupus could palm and Hi my name is Mark.

Why not calling them Redfox Playing Cards - Sucker Editio? Or Octupus Edition?
I know, the objective counting naming method like V1, V2 or 1.0; 2.0 is en vogue lately but why not giving the deck a proper name?

Red fox is our brand. "Red" because it uses a special red filter for secrets and "fox" because of the sly markings. The logo in the middle is an ambigram that says "red fox" right side up or upside down. Our mascot is a red fox which is on the tuck and and jokers as well as our first version and versions going forward. This is our underwater adventure deck which features the octopus(also great to hide the secret markings) but it is part of the Red Fox Playing Card brand and our red fox mascot will always be around. Future decks will have different themes but the red fox logo and red fox mascot will be a staple. Hope this helps answer your question!

Great question! The actual name for this deck is "Adventure deck". On the side it is labelled Version 2.0 etc., and yeah it might have been a lack of foresight and maybe something we wish we could change and something we might change in the future about how the names of our decks are displayed on the side of the tuck. Our Version 1.0 we are changing the name to Origin, Version 2.0 is Adventure and our next deck is Encounter so this is great input and we might very well change how the decks are labelled moving forward.

You owe me $5 lol. I'll be honest and out myself that I've never heard of Hi my name is Mark - just looking it up now. I've come accross if an octupus could palm a few times but my wife who is not into cards like I am, never has. Our first version was kinda whimsical steam punk-ish and this version was simply "underwater" theme. My wife who does the artwork doesn't do research on other people's card designs and just does her own thing. Kinda hard to copy anything if you do it that way. The octopus tentacles shape make the secret markings design easier. The placement and colors were designed towards our unique marking system so any likeness to other decks is 100% coincidental. This deck design would be exactly the same regardless if those other cards existed or not.

F***, haha. I figured with Chris Ramsay on the courts and all, that you've decided to put a funny octopus on your deck as well because you know the other decks.
Looks cool btw.

Shot me a DM with your PayPal and I'll send it to you.

haha, thanks. Yeah I'll admit the Chris Ramsay is slightly gimmicky lol. He's my fellow Canadian as well and when my video was the top of his Reddit and featured on one of his videos, well now it's just part of the story lol.

Got the $5 Paypal. Thanks for your integrity to pay up on a bet.

Like the first one, this is a very well designed deck with a lot going for it! Too bad that it has the personalized courts, which I dislike in any deck and is the only reason I will not be backing this project (as well the reason I didn't back the first one). I really love the artwork, though.

To each their own. Thanks for the input!

**Update**
This project is launching today September 22 a couple hours after I write this post. I'm super excited and filled with anticipation.
Can't wait to see how it goes!

Best of success with the project. Seeing how your first project went I have no doubt that people will push this one over the funding goal as well.

Best of luck on your campaign I'm sure it will fund well. Stylish glasses.
