Re: FLWR Playing Cards
This is actually not that bad... A lot of things I like about these. That Ace of Spades is great. Those Jokers are pretty spectacular. Of the court cards I really like the designs of the Queens and to some extent the Jacks, the Kings look quite confusing and overdesigned IMO. Also not a fan of the back design, too simplistic to match the artwork on the face cards.
A lot to like here though in the designs of the Jokers, Aces and the Queens.

Re: FLWR Playing Cards
This project funded today, and the creators are planning some considerable upgrades to the tuck box to turn this into a true luxury deck. I think it might deserve a second look if anyone was on the fence initially, as I was.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Re: FLWR Playing Cards
Kinda sucks he is selling these for less than KS price, especially when it looks like not all backers received their cards yet. Glad I didn't back.

Re: FLWR Playing Cards
Review of the luxurious FLWR gilded decks! Features include silver foil tuck box, numbered seals, marked back design, and fully custom hand-drawn courts! Printed on USPCC premium thin crushed stock, this deck feels as good as it looks! The gilded versions are on sale right now from https://www.flwr.life/ so get them while you can!

Re: FLWR Playing Cards
I agree. These decks are quite nice. They were not really on my radar when on KS, but then I saw this thread resurrected and picked up the gilded ones at a very reasonable price while they are still available.
I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.

Re: FLWR Playing Cards
For those not aware, they're currently running a KS for the Holo version of their FLWR deck. It looks really nice to be honest. Much better than the first deck. Like a mix of Montenzi and Ink Beast with a flower motif. Already more than 200% funded.
$24 per deck, $5 US shipping. $20 for 1 extra deck.

Re: FLWR Playing Cards
These are now selling on their site for $5.99. You can get a mystery gilded deck for $12.99. Both prices are substantially below the Kickstarter price. Another reason I have become very selective about the projects I back on KS. Yes I know that the KS price is no guarantee that they won't be sold for lower later, but this particular example seems over the top.

Re: FLWR Playing Cards
For this instance, I won't begrudge him the sale price. 
He sent out an email about this explaining the reason for the sale:
He sent out an email about this explaining the reason for the sale:I wanted to let you all know that the artist behind FLWR - Johnny I. is in Ukraine with his family, and currently trying evacuate. To raise funds for him we have put what stock we have left for the first FLWR on a significant sale. Regular decks for $5.99 and Gilded decks for $12.99.

Re: FLWR Playing Cards
Interesting not to post that on the web site itself, seems like it would help to know this. Stiil would want to know how the money is getting to him and how much. Also would be good to have a direct GoFundMe or similar fundraising for the artist as well, similar to what Penguin Magic did with the Ukraine deck they are doing.
