It's quite an interesting tuck at least, I'm not so keen on the writing on all the cards though, take that out and you might have something decent.

i really like these. They have a woodcut look, without tons of gaudy (to some) colors. Very tasteful and well done. I'm in.

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

It's not a bad deck, not a great deck.  I'm not feeling a strong urge to buy any.

I can say, though, that if one could find the right shade of brown, fine-tipped marker. they could go to town marking this deck.  One could practically throw in a marking system as complex as a DeLand deck - they had markings to tell you where EVERY card in the deck was by looking at the back of the top card, as long as the deck remained in proper stack order, except here, you could be more subtle and really hide the whole thing.  DeLand decks were notorious for their markings being as subtle as a brick hitting your face.  A layman with a little intelligence and a sharp eye could spot the markings before your trick was over.

I was really expecting lots of pineapples, cheese and ham when i saw the topic. I know i know...but the first thing that came to my mind when i saw Hawaiian was pizza.

I think the deck is quite nicely done, I like the seal and the floral and all. But somehow, this does not excite me as much, probably just not the style of decks i would like.
