Clues are revealed socially, building a clearer picture until October 8th.
@Nate - Only six more days. We thought it would be fun to hand pieces out, and let people play. Hopefully, this won't be too much more of an annoyance for you (or anyone else feeling the same way).
The full unveiling happens on the evening of the 8th.

Do you know how hard it was to find that metallic Unicorn, then convince it to donate blood to this project?
Glad you're enjoying the slow reveal of this beautiful deck...

Don,
I know you've moved into your new apartment, and you're still in the midst of decorating. But I took the liberty of adding a poster to your wall. I think it matches the umbrella motif.

These are real, though they are not made by USPC. They are made by Gemaco. Good find as they are pretty scarce. I've only seen one other image of this deck before in a Frenchman's GNugg collection.
