Goal looks a little low, but looks like the project has a solid backing already.

Post by: Don Boyer on August 05, 2014, 01:51:07 AM: I like the level of talent applied here but I'm not fond of the theme. I think the deck would have looked a hundred times more gorgeous if he simply did unique takes of traditional courts rather than forcing the pip shapes on the faces. The guy's got artistic chops but this deck just isn't my style.

Here's to hoping the next deck isn't so gimmicky.

My name is Ben Vierck, I'm the creator of the Four Point deck. Thanks for all the feedback and critique so far, always good to hear honest opinions. I'm new to the forum, but looking forward to participating here in the future - beyond just this Kickstarter project.

I've gone somewhat more in-depth on the artistic and design process behind the cards with an interview with Kardify - look for it within the next couple days. Hopefully I can change a few minds.

Cheers!
