Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Bloom

These are probably the first room one decks I've liked. I appreciate that none of the decks are behind a paywall but the price feels a bit steep imo (no doubt a result of the current state of the world). With shipping, a special edition deck with cold foil is almost $40. The standard deck with shipping is $26. I'm not sure if I wanna back this or not.....hmmmmmm. Anyone else backing this one? If so, what are you getting?

These gimmicks do not grab me. What is that tuck cut-out supposed to be? I know it lets you see the inner printing with some little stick but the shape of it just looks weird to me. The card backs have two completely different art styles that does not work for me.

I love Bloom decks but I'll be honest these thrill me less than their past decks.

I'm in and I'll stay in but I may cut back to just the foiled decks.

This one is Lewis Carroll's celebrated Classic meets Japanese art and culture (and bits of Salvador Dali)

Interesting concept, this one (rip my storage spaces, since their collection boxes are bigger than the photos suggest)

cool boxes are the bane of my existence recently. I just got the last room one KS to ship (hotel on) and it has a smaller fake leather version of the sewing box from the jack Brutus penny set.

They've done a few cool ones recently, not to mention ARKs on the occasions I want the really expensive one.

I just saw some TCC decks on Henry's homepage featuring a tuck with a keyhole cut-out - that would have been in keeping with the Alice story

Oh, then you saw KeyHole Playing Cards: The Haunted Castle and Reflections of the Wall. And unfortunately, the tuck box has no keyhole cut-out, it's simply the artwork

Thanks laito, I see now that I look more clearly - Bloom could have done it then and not been accused of copying

A few pictures of these decks:

The two Tickky Tockky Tuck Boxes are eye-catching:

Joukan Special Edition & Gekan Special Edition



The two Standard Editions have panoramic artwork (polyptychs) on the number cards:

The clock tuck has two spirals with hour numerals. The main spiral from the bottom counts clockwise from ten to seven, with the numerals following the curve. however, I don't know what's going on with the top spiral - from left to right it reads nine, ten, nine, eight. That first numeral is probably supposed to be XI instead of IX. That is driving me crazy.

I like the artwork on these ones. I see what you mean re the hour numerals...perhaps the mad hatter drew them up
