Hey guys,

Aloys Studio posted these photos today, and wrote:
"Rose Reversed Back Tally Ho Playing Cards Coming Soon"

I would imagine all 6 are on the way, but I'm not sure if they produced them, or if they are distributing them.

As much as I like Tally Ho's, I'm sad that Aloys is the ones to take the initiative to print new colors.

Btw, isn't there already a black/white version?

[DelMagic]

Any idea if the faces on these are white or the various colors?

[Wilko]

Agree with magicfingerz. Happy to see a couple of colour variations of the tallies although it doesn't warm my heart knowing that alloys are putting them out.

[MagikFingerz]

They just posted these:

Jesus that's awful. I thought they'd do a more thought out recoloring. Like the Plumas.

Aloys? Thought out?

[Eoghann]

Hey, I'm new to this. I still have a shred of hope left in me.

...aaaaand there it goes.

[DelMagic]

Looks like the black fan backs are the only ones to have white faces and these have been available for years. Although some may like the colorful background on the faces, magicians like myself won't care for these.

I agree - particularly ugly, IMO.

[Wilko]

RANK!
SAme as what MM did with all those colours of rider backs!
Can't be bothered with these. Tally ho have always been a decent, classy looking deck of cards. These colours have turned them into a bit of a joke IMO.
I'll stay away.

I just noticed that the black deck has Ellusionist's ghost color scheme for the faces. Only the index pip shows any red for the hearts and diamonds. I am not particularly a fan of that as it makes recognition of the card harder and it kills color change effects for magicians. And try doing oil and water effects - the loss of contrast hinders the magic.

Like Wilko, my first thought when I saw these images was of the MM full reverse decks... most of which left me thinking at the time, "These could have been so much better."

I don't know. I have tended to cut MM slack where many others are not inclined to do so, whereas I have yet to buy a single product from Aloys. And these... yeah, they won't be the first. I think it'd be cool to see the Tallys get some love, but not like this. (shudder).

Without checking, I think the Ghost deck has a black outline on the red index pips, which these doesn't seem to have. Not that it makes any difference, but I like specifying details

[DelMagic]

You are right Tom, and the picture is so low in resolution that I can't tell whether or not the outline is there is on the red index pips. It won't affect my opinion of them either way, but later on we will see if they really match the ghost decks.

Yeah, it won't matter anyway. The backs aren't inverted (judging from the box render), and that's the most prominent feature of the ghost decks. Without it, these will just look like cheap knock-offs.

Those bright colors and faces do soil the brand. It's like they said, "Let's make Tally-Hos for kids!"

[Bikefanatic]

The White Ghost deck was the first thought that came to my mind when I seen the White Rose, that's pretty much what it is but with a better back. They're just Tally Ho versions of the MM Bike decks.

where the magic happens

[Widdee]

You bring up a good point, Lorenzo. (Quality over quantity) Would they be better off releasing one new color at a time,over time, time or flooding the market as they are?

[Stockholm17]

yes, this rainbow tally-ho set is the ultimate color-swapping operation.
I kinda feel insulted as card decks lover, micro-collector, and designer.

I was already speechless when I saw the blue fontaine and many other releases.
Artists of UC, form Voltron! lol

I think this is better. I think most of us would prefer buying 6 decks at once and paying shipping once, as opposed to paying for shipping 6 separate times. Aloys even did this before with some of the Floral decks, they released the Green and Purple like one week apart from each other.

[montecarlojoe]

And the winner is...

[mrterrychen]

After the reversed back for Bicycle, and Tally-ho, will someone print the reversed back for Bee???

[nECr0MaNCeD]

While I do like color variations when they are done well, such as the Arcane decks, these are just hideous. I wasn't crazy about the Floral series either but Peafowl was interesting. It seems to me that a deck shouldn't be done just for the sake of doing it but for the love of the art, but that's just my two cents.

Still cant believe they are doing 6 decks at once..

Yep, I have heard horror stories about direct purchases before, but I have heard great things too. I am thinking their record keeping isn't all that great. Who knows? I have always gotten my stuff, but I won't go very far out on a limb...

"Less than 64" of each? *smh*
