Haha what a coincidence, I literally just took a test not more than 10 minutes ago on the hundred year war.
Awesome looking deck.

I quite like the artwork on this one, but a bit pricey for a single. Still, in for one gold.

In for Gold and Silver.
These are gorgeous. And Shiny.... shiny is always good.

Shiny!
I like the tucks for sure. The artwork is really cool too, I kinda want a cheat sheet with it though of who is who.

I like 'em. I'll go for a few. It would be nice to get the artist to come by and participate, so I'll knock on the door and see if he'll come out to play.

The white borders look out of place, like it's a complete back design that's slightly top small that's been put on a blank card.

They are no strangers to hyperbole:
The Bicycle® Hundred years' War tuck case is detailed in a way no other deck has been.
Still, it's a pretty well done deck, and i'm in for a pair...
Edit: Gotta agree with ButterFingerz on the white borders looking weird, though.

I looked at those but the half brick price got the per deck price down to a tad over 11 bucks so went that way. Add-on decks will be 14 skins a pop.

Apart from the one-way back design (and the already mentioned "white-border-out-of-place") this looks really nice! The only thing keeping me away from pledging (at the moment) is the price....

$14 for one deck?
The prices just keep inching up and up, guess the oil barons and card sharks are related.
I do like the artwork though so I've starred the project for now.

The price for one deck is a little high (considering that a blinged - out deck like one of the Sherlock Holmes deck went for $12 each on KS), but the price of $24 for two decks is alright.

The fact that Joan of Arc is in the deck will probably push me to pledge. I have a reminder on. The single deck is a bit steep, seems that is the trend of playing cards right now. Overall it is impressive.

His indexes needs to be a bit bigger. You can't distinguish the cards at a distance when you kill the large suit badge. Can't bitch about his one way back. The swords are to close to the middle to matter. It works. However, I think there is a lot of negative white space. His cards are unique. Maybe a simple boarder on his courts would tie everything together nicely....

No worries. But you're still right in implying that I don't get charged international fees for shipping, which I did not consider in my comment earlier. Yeah, with added international shipping, the cost of one or two decks is quite high...

Well, technically close enough: living in Guam you are in an American territory and you don't pay any "international" shipping. We've done it before... Same thing with the APO/FPO addresses, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands - as long as it has a 5-digit ZIP code, you're good. The one "gotcha" is with APO/FPO: since they ship to the military post office in New York City for forwarding, they actually are going to a foreign country, and require a customs declaration even though they aren't charged any extra for shipping.

I love the aces and the one-way back will pass to my standards.

I'll go for the only the Silver tuck, black and gold has been over done. The backs are ok, probably wouldn't take much to make the swords double and the crowns to be the same.

I invited the deck artist here and he registered this morning, I tossed him into the "Deck Artist" group, so I expect he'll be back to check things out soon! I really like this deck, especially the white & silvered one...

Hello everyone! I was introduce to this page by Mike & Pierre!
Sorry for dropping by a bit late, we needed time to discuss about the issues arose. Plus, we had a client work to do...OTL
Thank you all for your kind and sharp feed backs!
We are really impressed by your keen eyes and are seriously considering about the comments.
As Sher and other guys mentioned, the price for a deck is a little high. At first, we set lower prices for rewards, but we wanted tuck to be shiny and refined regardless stretch goals, so we decided to raise prices a bit and get tucks foiled and embossed. Hope this seem reasonable for backers.
About back design, we absolutely agree with borderline issue. Actually, we already fixed the borders but keeping it as we are still discussing about one-way vs. two-way issue. Since we have some time to go, we want to adjust things thoroughly. As soon as we're done, will come back here and let you know. We will see how bigger indexes look, too.
Again, I sincerely appreciate for your feed backs!

Great to see you here, and don't forget to wear your thick suit: we don't pull punches, we follow through! That being said, 99% of the decks that came to us for advice (and followed it, at least substantially) went on to be funded.
