I would buy bricks of these decks if it wasn't for that horrendous ugly looking card back... man that kills it for me

Have to agree, Don't like the back design much at all, much preferred the v1 backs. Speaking of which, do all the variants have the same back design - it looks like they do.

Each to their own I guess. I really love them and we've had great feedback on the card back art. It is younger though and also a bit more cardistry-appealing this time (along with the artwork story / identity, as opposed to the oh-so-loved abstract cardback art), so it will never be possible to please everyone. We're happy.

Cheers

Can I just ask.....is it the centre artwork you are referring to (options), as opposed to the full composition (hands tied)...?

Cheers

No i get that 100%... I am glad for you that most seem to like the back.. You have to please the majority. Any chance to have 1 deck printed with a solid back or something simple at one point. I definitively would go for that . Good luck in your next KS

I am definitely backing. I too will love to see more of an artistic collector style deck in the future. I am sure it will come. I wish I had collected the last Kickstarter. At this point, you could print a VMP deck (an inside joke here for an epically bad deck) and I am still in. I am sure these will fly off the shelves, and I will get a set or two.

For me if both circles with the palm tree art were gone and the 4 stars in the corner that would be a win. Just your center logo with the Vegas bulb sign would be a major improvement.. But again that is just my taste. The stars could stay maybe I would have to see what it looks like but definitively that guy saluting at the palm trees or whatever that is should go

Yes, For me it's the centre images that I don't like. The overall composition is fine.

I talked about this earlier in the thread, but I too don't care much for the centre artwork (the circles). The V1 image would be better, or something entirely new but I have no idea what that could be.

HOUSTON........

I would love to see a more abstract back design, why limit the deck by attaching it to Las Vegas?

Today is still launch day, isn't it?

Oh wait, no, it's tomorrow. My bad.

Hey Folks

86 mins to launch.

Teaser? or no teaser?

Teaser? I just met her!

Rousselle old buddy old chum, there is no time for jokes! Haha

I have to get the other side of a city to meet my biz partner now, to press launch together.....

What? You have a two key launch device like nuclear missiles?

Anyway, excited that I didn't miss the "launch"! Setting my countdown....

Hey, wait maybe this is like a missile launch. T minus 15 minutes...

Guess you didn’t make it across town in time...

It’s up.

I was just about to pledge, but I took one more look at the back design and decided to hold off. This is a wonderful technology and the faces of the cards look stunning, but I just can't pull the trigger because of how unappealing the back looks. I hope this technology gets licensed out to other designers who are able to utilize it in a better card design, so I'll wait until then.

I would kick myself silly if I didn't back these. I am in for a set. No hesitation. It is a bad day for my wallet with these and the Silver Arabesque Players coming out on the same day.

I’m in for a gold metal.

Hope like hell it funds, this is a high target goal ($45K)

For what it’s worth I think it’s a mistake categorising this project under “Gadgets” and not “Playing Cards” on KS - A lot of casual traffic won’t stumble on this unless they manually search for playing cards or diffractors in the search field
