based in your avatar and wording i am assuming you are affiliated with kingstar somehow. i have been a fan of many kingstar decks and i appreciate your appearance and time here. Welcome! it is always great to be able to talk to and ask designers questions. Cthulu is less my style but the triptych above looks pretty neat.
if i could make a couple of statements about kingstar in general? on the decks i have purchased, 3 box sets and about 6 singles so far, Kingstar employs a bottom of the tuck seal. i love this for various reasons and hope you guys keep doing this. i also like the decks that have an outer tuck without the flap and you pull out the inner tuck which is a side loading tuck without the flap as well, such as the monkey king box set decks. you guys really nail the inner and outer tuck designs. it appears that the more recent decks have been less likely to use this 2 tuck design and have used the traditional one tuck with flap. i hope we see more inner and outer tuck format in the future.

Thank you,I am King Star operator.Most of our cards use 2 tuck design（Except for hidden light cards）.There will be a tuck like Monkey King in Cthulhu V2, but it will be better.which should meet your requirements (my english is not good, these contents are carried out by translation software, I hope you can forgive me if there is any deviation, thank you)

Kingstar decks are designwise a bit allover the place. Meaning I fail to see consistency throughout the decks itself and have a hard time to understand the theme. This one is no exception. I'd love to hear a bit more about the thoughts behind the designs.

That was actually what drove me to ask about the V3 of silence - the art has changed but I imagine the story remains the same - wondering what the methodology is for a series and where they expect to go in the future
I don’t mind if they don’t have the same artistic style - I think I even prefer it with King Star decks. I don’t like them all, but the ones I like I really like.

Because of my poor English, it is difficult for me to explain it clearly in English.But all design elements are closely related to patterns.Each work has a corresponding story introduction.These are on our WeChat official account.

For example, five decks of cards in “DREAM WORLD ”I noticed that outside China, their stories and real meanings and names were distorted and ignored.But in fact, they have a coherent story background and are the outline of a complete short story.There are many examples like this, because we don't have members who are proficient in English to translate.

I believe that lemonKT content and design style will be unique and excellent.More content and ideas will be updated one after another.

oh boy this campaign...5? deck variants super underwhelming courts. and the best variant is $96 with a wood box and $32 to ship to the US. (which itself isn't consistent, its $16 to ship the same box as an add-on, you can actually get the box+the base deck for $1 more)
Straight out of the ARK playbook.

This has got to be one of the most confusing campaigns I have seen. I tried to see how many variants there were but got completely lost. There's how many box sets? And how many individual deck variants? Def seems like Ark as their campaigns confuse the hell outta me too haha

We will explain in detail in the update.Different from ark, our different deck designs are different.It won't be a simple color change.
