  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.
$18 for on deck printed by makeplayingcards.com
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

If you bring back the little dash that goes in the middle of an E then it might be worth it.

I completely agree. Without the dash in the E, it's just a C. Can't see pledging for this deck at all, as is.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
While MPC has become better at making cards, I wouldn't consider their print work worth $15 a pack (the early bird price), never mind $18.  But then again, we're all fussy collector types around here...  €8,000 is a huge goal for an MPC deck as well, considering how inexpensive a print job can be from them and how small a run they're willing to make.  You could (depending on print run size and features) probably make a deck with Legends or Expert for the same price - and THAT would be a deck worth what you're asking.

Correction: just noticed you're working on making more than one color.  Two to start, three if you hit a stretch goal.  Still, $15 a pack - too much.

BTW: I wish people would stop calling everything that's slightly less than full-blown images "minimal."  It's really not.

From the Wikipedia article on "minimalism":
The term "minimalist" often colloquially refers to anything that is spare or stripped to its essentials.

Your design just doesn't fit the bill.  The courts are not "full-blown" courts and are even one-way in design, but minimalist they are not.  Your pips are the opposite of minimalist - you've ADDED elements rather than removing them.
