Title: Bicycle EMOJI Deck - Walgreens Exclusive
Post by: RandyButterfield on September 11, 2017, 12:21:31 AM
Hey Everyone,

A new Deck I designed with USPCC and CPC should be in Walgreens stores now, or very soon (probably for $3.99 or $4.99).
The interesting thing is this Deck wouldn't have happened without the 52 Joker Convention! At last year's Convention in Schaumburg, Steve Brooks introduced me to Mike, the owner of Collectable Playing Cards. We hit it off and started talking about possibilities of getting some Decks into big retail stores.

My goal with the Bicycle EMOJI Deck was to create a Deck that kids would love, and one that was tasteful enough for their parents to actually play games with their kids.

When I created the PIP Emojis, I built a starting point that contained 4 different sets of eyebrows, 4 different sets of eyes, 4 different sets of mouthes and a handful of unique features like Heart Eyes, the Halo, Sunglasses, Tear Drops.... Between all of those different options, I think I ended up with only 2-6 different faces that were used more than once.

Below are some photos I took of the Cards and Tuck.

thanks, Randy

What a great backstory...Thanks for sharing Randy. I sure this will get old but I can't resist.....That AoS is a pile of crap!

I picked up this deck a week ago and could not find anything online about it!  It's so fun. I'm glad I stumbled upon this forum (joined today). :)

That's awesome! I'm glad one of my designs ended up steering your way to PCF. Welcome to the Forum, and I'm glad you like the Emoji Deck!!

Thanks, Randy

This is a pretty nice deck.  It's not really my cup of tea, but I can certainly appreciate a good design when I see it.  Congratulations, Randy!
