I thought they waited for decks to fail on KS before producing them?

While it is the usual pattern for them to put decks up on KS, it's not impossible that they'll self-fund this one.  I tell ya, though - that guy's been cranking out decks like crazy in recent months.  I'm just glad he's not making clip art decks like some other character I could mention...  :))  I may not like all of them, but some are rather nice.

I'm not a fan of the borders and the background. I like the Limited Edition tuck though.
I don't really get the theme of this. Pardon my ignorance about art and history but are these all famous portraits by famous artists?

Ohhh thanks for clearing that up. All I recognized was the Mona Lisa and the David joker. I just realized the Mona Lisa is holding a clover. I wonder if the rest of the courts have something like that for their respective suit.

For every silver lining, there's a Victor!  :))

The extra tucks are stretch goals.  As of now, there exactly two tucks, one for each color of deck.  The rest are just stretch goals.

The first couple of times this project came up on my screen, it was an easy pass. "Mona Lisa. Bah. Pass."

But, looking at it closer, I see there's a bit of cleverness going on in how the images are being made two-way, and that appeals to my sense of whimsy. I'm in for a couple. The art is interesting, and the company behind this deck have always delivered to me in a timely fashion, whether ordering from their site directly or via Kickstarter; quick and professional. Printed by USPCC. I can spring for a couple decks.

I may even go in on a puzzle; I have to think about that. Those could be really fun, what with the image being two-way, and all.

There are no 3's in rousselle. There are, however, two s's, two l's, two e's (but not in a row), an r, an o, and a u.

I'll grant that the deck's art is rather clever, but I draw the line at the "flea market" of tchotchkes!  It's a little overboard, I think.

The Mona Lisa one isn't really two-way.
