Any idea when the campaign will begin? Should anyone be concerned with production and fulfillment in consideration to the war? The prelaunch pic garnered my interest but was quickly replaced with worry because of the upheaval in the region.

It just launched. NPCC has been churning out projects and printing things for producers like Isolated Thunderstorm throughout the war. I'm unsure if any issues may arise in the future, but Roman has been reliable so far.

The court art reminds me of Fris and the back design creates an odd white portioned border imo.

Yeah, this one is likely going to be a pass mainly on those grounds.

Yeah, the pricing is firmly in WTF territory.

It's Lotrek level prices. I imagine it's the physical adornment on the deck that's dictating the price? They also have way too many versions offered. Looks like this will fund.

False scarcity = Elevated prices
Apart from the UV deck, it seems that there are only 50 in total of the others (I think)

I have kept my vow that I will never pay $100 au for a deck and with the weak Aussie dollar right now, these are more than that!

There is a lack of close-ups for the courts

A deck at this price point has to check all the boxes for me to consider buying. Some interesting components but the courts don’t wow me. Congrats to the maker for funding all the same. Maybe the next project will get me to buy.

Why are they so expensive? Are the 3D elements created by those large semi translucent plastic things on the sides of the deck in the gif? I'm confused as to what this campaign is selling. NPCC cards and whatever the tuck boxes are, doesn't seem to warrant those prices. Funded and then some with 25 backers. I don't know what to make of all this.

I thought the courts looked like Stronghold series by Gambler's warehouse for me
