Hi, Don.
"Alien Ink - or is it Alien Slink" as we found out - it's the same thing.
We stopped with him to cooperate with him.
Don, could you advise someone?
We are from Kiev, Ukraine. For this reason, we can not self-register for an account. According to the rules kickstarter.
We need a partner with the account. He will make the payment of production of playing cards and is responsible for delivering.
Thank you.

It looks like you're in pretty good hands.

Gambler's Warehouse started as a company called the Gambler's General Store.  The shop changed hands at least twice - USPC owned it recently, then sold to the present owner who rechristened the company and moved the headquarters from Las Vegas, Nevada to somewhere in Texas.  There's less focus on the casino decks and more focus on custom designs.  They also acquired Brooke Michael's Poker World from its most recent owner, Mike Ferrante - at one time, Ferrante was running the collectors' site United Cardists, but there were some personality conflicts that erupted there and he sold UC to Mike Ratledge and BMPW to Gambler's Warehouse.  So if you make a purchase from the store using PayPal, the account still has the BMPW account name on it, "BMPokerWorld".

Since the renaming and relaunching, they've been making a big splash in custom decks.  Their output is rapidly putting them high on USPC's list of busiest customers!  Not every deck has been to my tastes, but that's not to say they've been bad decks.  As long as you're happy with your end of the deal, I believe that congratulations are in order!

BTW: my wife was born in Ukraine, lived in Kharkov for almost half of her life.  She learned to speak Russian instead of Ukrainian - it was still part of the USSR/CCCP for most of the time she was there.  Поздравляем и удачи, мой новый друг!  (If the translation is bad, blame Google Translate!)

Great news, Gamblers Warehouse is a fantastic company. They really do a great job. I'm looking forward to the new kickstarter. :D

OK, Vovk, you're new and I didn't want to say anything, but your constant "consecutive posting" is getting to be a bit much - your post count is notably higher than it should be.

If you posted last, not very long ago, and no one has posted since, you can simply add your new text to the first post by editing instead of double-posting (or triple- or quadruple-posting).

I'm going to go over this topic and combine your consecutive posts made on the same day, so if you notice your count has dropped, that's the reason why.

On the topic of your deck, it's not the most appealing deck to me personally, but I can see where it would be attractive to others.  This is not shoddy work.

@vovkalex -  Glad to see the bigger courts.  That is an improvement.  Nobody has really bitched about the design being in the indices.  Go with it.  So your theme is gold.  You might want to go with a LE tuck box with gold foil and Embossed on the front.  Just saying....

Charges extra for a mix half brick/brick.
Doesn't really make much sense considering both decks are the same price.

Add-on is up to 3 decks only?
Why does this still look like it is not being planned out properly? I actually thought Gambler's Warehouse should know better..

EDIT: Other than that, the deck is looking great.

Yeah, that is odd.  They're probably receiving the bricks unmixed and they figure the two bucks will cover the cost of someone sorting them into mixed halves and bricks.  It's an odd way to make a little extra cash, though.

And at $14, the add-on decks are kind of costly.  I often see them at least slightly discounted, since you're adding them to make an order larger - this feels a bit like being penalized for wanting more decks.

Friendly reminder time. Arcanum campaign is now down to hours left, 62 at the moment. Still a few EB's and uncuts to be had as well.

Today have checked FB acc of Arcanum creators and found that they have relisted "Arcanum" project on indiegogo, looks like they want to sell more decks and get more profit, but it is not a big problem. What is a problem that another project "Defunctorum", that I think is much better (IMHO), was started much earlier than "Arcanum". And now Arcanum creators totally stole (or copied) descriprion of "Defunctorum" project. I think that creator of Defunctorum must see this. If someone is in touch with Roman Kotiv, I want to you to contact him.
I think that it is not good idea to steal someones idea or totally copy description.
Take a look on compare picture that I have made.
