Hello everyone and thanks for having me, it's great to be here

First off, my name is Jyl and I'm from Belfast in the North of Ireland. I am in the process of designing a deck of cards that I'm hoping to launch on Kickstarter in the coming months (it's now March 2024).

Since joining Kickstarter in 2015 I have backed 120 decks, and I've been passionate about playing cards my whole life, ever since my Mum taught us how to play poker on family caravan holidays so we wouldn't be bored when it rained

I also have a website selling my own GAA (Gaelic Games) inspired t-shirts and hoodies, featuring all 32 Counties of Ireland.

It's always been an ambition of mine to combine these two interests, and now I'm finally in the process of designing my own deck. The actual card faces are done and the backs are taking shape. The next thing is to decide what to do for the Jokers and of course the Tuck Box.

I understand that this is the place to go for help, advice, hints and tips, and more importantly 'what-not-to-dos' regarding playing card design, social media marketing, and really importantly, Kickstarter campaigns.

I'm not sure if I'm to share images of the cards so far or what the 'done' thing is, so I'd love it if you could guide me in the right direction.

Many thanks, and I'm looking forward to hearing what you all think

Welcome! Lovely introduction.

If you are still working on creating the deck and drafting the artwork, you are more than welcome to post here: viewforum.php?f=15

When the deck is ready for launch, you can then make an official post for the deck here: viewforum.php?f=8 Some people just go ahead and start posting in this section from the get-go.

Thank you for your advice, it’s much appreciated

Welcome aboard. Best of success with your endeavours.

Glad to see you here! I think you'll find there's a lot of excellent constructive advice waiting for you here (as well as, no doubt, a few nattering nabobs of negativism just to keep you on your toes. Heh.)

Come on in! The water's warm!

Thank you, it’s good to be here
