r/playingcards

So, in common with others these days, my latest Theory11 deck is made in China. Turns out the only thing I don't prefer about it is that the cards are stiff to spring - and boy do they smell...

They Faro better than the USPCC White Edition I got last month, fan evenly, don't feel as though the card edges being an exfoliant is a design feature and even (false) shuffle cleanly. But boy do they smell... 😬

Hey All, I was encouraged by some kind members here not to shy away from sharing this. It’s my pleasure to welcome you to a new project - funded in 35 minutes and a Projects We Love on Kickstarter.

Made for people that appreciate unique and creative decks - years of hand-drawing artwork and testing foil techniques, the playing cards are hidden in a narrative adventure. The cards puzzle together into a winding tapestry. And the tapestries interact to create an original board game inspired by Edo-period Japan and telling the story of a field mouse trying to rebuild his farmstead.

If you have a sec, and are intrigued by the terribly scaled down cardistry here by the highly skilled @Silas, then check out the campaign main video to see it all properly.

As with all my projects, it will be used in part to support animal welfare activities and our first stretch will help us build a ‘Bee Inn’ with a Japanese NPO.

Thank you for your time! And with way, keep doing you—you’re the best in the world at it.

Patriotic case for July, for September did a "Sapphire" themed (September's birthstone) in honor of my Momma's 80th birthday.
