Kings Wild Project Table Players Series (Merged)

[rousselle]

How do others feel about merging the past threads regarding the Table Players series?

As for the remaining two decks this year, those tuck boxes look pretty snazzy. I hope the backs also add a little variety, as well. By and large, I do like what they've done with this series. I'm a little bummed that there won't be a "standard" offering next year at a more player-friendly price. But, so it goes. <shrug>

[brownsl]

Maybe do a single Players thread and start a new one each year?

[EvilDuncan]

I don't see any reason to start a new thread each year. It's all the same series of decks.

[Eric Lee]

I think single thread works well for this. We can follow the design style of all the TP in 1 thread.

Just realized that Table Players can be renamed as Classic Cigarette packs reimagined. That's why it resonates so well with so many. Those packs were designed that well originally.

[Strag]

+1 to a single thread

[rousselle]

Done. If you spot any threads I missed, please let me know.

[Entaro]

eh I had a good idea! lol were 11 & 12 the start of table players being designed by June? (think that was her name..) I believe the plan was to have her take over this series just not sure when that swap happens

Vol. 11

[Harvonsgard]

That's quite a new low. What are people supposed to pay for them next year?

[EvilDuncan]

It's $30 and $45 for Limited and Gilded tiers next year, respectively.

For some insight on this shift away from Standard tiers in both the TPs and Vintage Reimagined series, see this segment of a recent livestream (time code 21:30 https://youtu.be/RuUC149hkMQ?t=1290)

whole point of table players is to be an affordable deck people use to play. at a table. if people aren't buying them on site day to day, maybe figure out why that is. maybe the designs aren't as nice as they should be. maybe people don't need 6-12 new deck designs per year. I don't see how a gilded version is better for people who use the decks to play cards than a standard version that can be used heavily and be discarded. makes no sense to me. seems like they are going after the symptoms and not the cause of the issue

[Harvonsgard]

Very nice summary. I can see why the gilding though since it enhances the longevity of the cards and as an option that you don't have to pick up it, it's fine imo. But $30 is a joke for designs like that. Not that I ever felt he really made affordable player's decks in the first place, but at least they weren't twice as expensive as today's custom design standard decks, lol.

Vol. 11 Table Players, $16.00

Table Players Volume Eleven features a retro western motif, with Green and Gold accents, that simply screams luxury. Volume 11 features the standard Table Player pips and court cards with green and gold accents.

Printed by EPCC on Cardista card stock with an air-cushioned and embossed finish.

Vol. 12 Table Players, $16.00

Volume 12 is the final Table Players Deck of 2021. One of the most bold and vibrant decks of the entire Table Players series, this deck screams luxury and class. With the bold red with shimmery gold accents, this deck will be a favorite among the Table Players collectors.

This deck was printed by the Expert Playing Card Company.

[Harvonsgard]

Dope, but I don't see the Table Players at that price point anymore; especially not not coming from USPCC.

Agreed, and I'm very curious to see whether next year's Table Players decks reflect the new prices - I hope so! But we'll see

Would be nice if we started seeing KWP Table players in a movie or TV series! Some of these are just so classy that they would fit in really well onscreen!

Monarchs have that market cornered.

Yeah, that was the one who came to my mind. But good to give T11 more competition!

[Lex Increase]

Ah man. Sad. I was looking forward to trying for a Table Players subscription this year to accumulate the standard decks a bit more cost effectively. Sad that these things are going to become display pieces, rather than real playing cards.

Table Players don’t move is because the price is too high. If they offered a volume discount for pick-a-brick at $150 or something, I’d be all over it.

KWP probably doesn’t want to ship high volume at low-margin, but if they don’t offer a gateway to the brand, they are leaving money on the table. I like the art and the brand, but I don’t collect the the core KWP customer. Would I have started accumulating more display decks? We’ll never know.

Vol. 13

[Harvonsgard]

Member when Jackson said, on an instagram live, years ago, artistically he can't grasp brands like fontaines? Whenever I see Table Players I can relate.

That's what it's based on actually.

[rousselle]

Just received my February "No. 13" decks. Are the February Table Players expected to ship soon? Normally, I'd have expected those to be combined, so I'm guessing these are running a bit behind schedule...?

[Strag]

According to his Discord, Jackson says they are still waiting for the cards to arrive but has the tucks in hand.

Miller High Life. And I think it's cool he's doing beer now. I like/relate to that more than the cigarettes. Still not worth the new price point IMO.

Middle tuck is for the gilded version

thats it! i was trying to think of which label it reminded me of. i was thinking coors for some reason.

[EvilDuncan]

Jackson needs to post some images to the Discord comparing the TPs decks to their inspirations.
