2-10 of diamonds. This is a slightly magical pacific northwest themed fully illustrated deck.

The faces are very nice. I‘m very curious to see how the courts will look like. I really like the look of the back design. That water colour like green background is intrigueing.

I also like the back design, it's quite pleasant.

Thank you! The deck suits are as follows:

Hearts: Ocean / Jellyfish
Diamonds: Forest / Fox
Clubs: Mountain / Pika
Spades: Sky / Raven

Here are the hearts, although a few of them will get edits down the road:

Loved your work on Trickster. These are gorgeous as an art deck, and I can't wait to see more.

Thank you for the kind words! Here are the heart, diamond, and spade number cards.

Thank you for sharing this update, Beth!

I immediately thought of the Olympic Peninsula after seeing your landscapes. This deck is gorgeous and does the PNW proud. Can't wait to see more.

EDIT: Here is Beth's Instagram if you want to follow her art and check out a few more of the court card portraits. So good!

Nice update. I was just recently thinking about these and what happened to this project.

Finished the number cards! I'll be redoing the face cards, and changing the 'frame' so they're visually distinct from numbers immediately. I figured with everything fully illustrated there needed to be some distinction between numbers and faces besides image content.

Liking this so far! Definitely love the Pacific NW vibe. The art is beautiful!

That's definitely an art deck. Pity that the cards can't be joined together to form 1 large picture. Some of the cards look like they almost could, like the 2-4 D, 5-7 D,

The faces of the cards look fantastic! I think the back is a little lacking though compared to the faces

This deck looks so good! Any updates on when it'll be available?

Squiddle_Ink · Thu Jan 07, 2021 11:54 am

Absolutely love these count me in for a pack when these are ready

bethsobel · Unread post by **bethsobel** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 5:39 pm

Hi! I finished these, although several changes were made. Expecting my test decks in the mail on Monday and Kickstarting them in September. I really appreciate the feedback here!

Harvonsgard · Unread post by **Harvonsgard** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 5:41 pm

Good news. I'm looking forward to some updates.

bethsobel · Unread post by **bethsobel** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 10:12 am

I got my test decks in the mail! They are super functional, which I was worried about due to the number cards being pretty non-standard, but playing with them was really easy. I have about 10 card images to edit (mainly a light adjustment), fewer than I expected! After those edits I'll order again, and if those decks are ok, I'll move on to USPCC. Progress!

Hey Beth, I am glad I wasn't the only one to get caught out by things printing a lot darker then I envisaged. Glad the project is progressing well. Any new images to share?

bethsobel · Unread post by **bethsobel** » Sat Jun 26, 2021 5:05 pm

Box mockup! Expecting to go live on Kickstarter on Sept. 21!

bethsobel · Unread post by **bethsobel** » Tue Aug 31, 2021 5:18 pm

KS page is approved, and goes live on September 21! Whew, I am so nervous already! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/be ... ying-cards

justplaycards · Thu Sep 02, 2021 5:39 am

I wouldn't be too nervous with 615 people waiting to be notified.

A few things contribute to the nerves!
1) I am so, so, so publicity shy; trying to market this has been very difficult. I do also believe that stretching one's boundaries can be good, though, so here's to growing a bit? A slightly less introverted me would be okay!
2) My only frame of reference for Kickstarter is board games, so I don't have a good idea of what playing card metrics are! I am recording all the data though, so if I have to relaunch or if I do another deck in the future, I'll have a solid concept of the numbers!
