Title: 4 Thrones Kickstarter (6 hours left)
Post by: kurtbieg on November 20, 2013, 06:21:07 PM

Hi All,

I'm new here and excited to connect with the community!

I started a Kickstarter last week to fund a unique project to print custom decks based off an original digital solitaire game I made in August called 4 Thrones.

The project is for three decks in total: the unique solitaire game deck, then 2 custom standard playing card decks based on themes from the digital game (all black, and all white).

If you get a chance, I'd love to have you all take a look and pass on some feedback.

Thanks so much!

I caught a look at this deck over on KS.  I'm curious about the app.

I'm moving this topic to the Playing Card Plethora board.  Design/Dev is more for a deck in the planning stages, while company releases and live KS projects come to "the big show"!  :))

Less than 6 hours left on these ultra minimalist decks. Check images of the proof decks below!

Stop by www.4Thrones.com (http://www.4Thrones.com) to check out the Kickstarter and see more photos and vids :)

Oh, I should also mention that the iOS version of the game the cards are inspired from is free until the end of the Kickstarter, so you can see the game in action.

You can grab a copy here (http://bit.ly/4ThronesiOS).

Thanks!

P.S.  I love the All White deck.  Best minimalist design I've ever seen (IMHO).  But to get the all-white deck you have to pledge for all three decks.  $40.  Pass.

P.P.S.  A *begrudging* pass.  I *really* like that deck.  But $40??  I hope this gets funded.  (Only 4 hours to go.)  Yeesh.  And sigh.  Both.

:-)

Thanks for the compliment!! The white deck is my super fav too.

I know you're not thrilled about getting all three decks, but I can say, mixing the black and white deck together ... it's simply gorgeous, so you would be able to do that at the $40 level.

Thanks again so much for the feedback :D

Less than 4 hours to go!

Hey, Kurt - I merged the topics on your deck.  We try to keep it to one topic per deck on the PCP, so we can find all the information in one place later on.

You came VERY close to your goal - I'm looking forward to seeing the relaunch.  With a little planning, you can pull off a successful run.  Consider limiting yourself to a single deck at first, and make the other decks available after hitting stretch goals - AND let your customers have what they want; let them pick and choose which decks they want instead of forcing them to get decks they don't want to get the ones they do want.
