Title: Regal Playing Cards by Gambler's Warehouse (KS)
Post by: PurpleIce on March 05, 2015, 10:47:42 PM

Regal Playing Cards Coming Soon!
Regal Drops March 10th at 12PM CST!!

Gambler’s Warehouse welcomes the return of renowned cardist John Powell, who invites you to make room in your collection for Regal: tradition with a lavish twist.

Combining robust design elements with a fresh take on classical styling, Regal invites you to sit among the royal. Have your pick of Regal’s four (4) fancy color themes (one color to a deck): red, purple, blue, or green.

“I was really influenced by the classic standard English courts, but I wanted to do them in a cleaner, more sophisticated and regal appearance—hence the name.”

—John Powell, designer of Regal

John Powell has become a Gambler’s Warehouse mainstay with a number of top-selling custom decks already to his credit, including the sinister Double Black and the stunning Occults.

Regal playing cards are unmistakably unique yet practical and familiar—a must for any serious collector.

Each deck of Gambler’s Warehouse Regal playing cards includes:

    Custom Face Cards, Court Cards, Jokers, and Tuck-Box
     56 Premium Playing Cards in all
    Printing by EPCC

Ornates from HOPC were designed by Randy Butterfield.

Messy how?  All I see is highly ornamented, Victorian-style.

I just wish he'd kept the red suits red for all four decks.  Colored outfits, fine, but by changing red from deck to deck this won't gain as much traction with players.

Hey just wanted to stop in and say thanks so much for all the support and huge props to Don for consulting on the job for us. I'm extremely grateful for everyone who's pledged so far and helped with the initial design input (Fes, Collector, Will W, Justin O)

Also there's this  :karrit: Because I've always wanted to use that emoticon but could never justify it in any other circumstance.

Cheers fellas!

I looked and couldn't find any mention.  Did you post this question to them on Kickstarter?
