AdamF - When you say "There is a method to my madness" you are speaking my language. Your deck is obviously an art deck. What that means is all your courts and pips are going to be "1-way" and you have done your research into knowing your back of card should be a mirror image or "2-way" I respect you more and my hat is off to you. You have not broken any rules, but have really bent the crap of of them. Yes, your back of card looks like a spider made it on LSD, but hey that's my opinion. But I also know it goes with your theme. Stick to your guns. I think you have something different and special. Your deck is a very unique deck and love seeing decks like this. They are far and few between.
I for one like to see something different. Can we see a close up of your back of card?
Here's the back. I'd love to hear folks' comments and suggestions.
For a deck called Fine Line, your back looks more like Doodler Gone Crazy. Is there actually a reason behind this back? i mean...my wife can draw such a back...especially when i make her mad...

Just a question, so if the deck is held with one hand when playing a card game or something won't the top card hide the bottom cards artwork and you will need to separate each card in order to figure out what they are?
Its good for a two card game but what if a game that consists of multiple cards?!
Points for taking a different approach.
However, you said "once you figure it out" which has kind of put me off. There will be people out there who may get frustrated trying to figure it out and toss the deck to one side. I know I would. There's thousands of decks out there to play card games and poker with. I know you said you've tested this with poker players, however I don't see this working in a poker game at all.
Also, I like my decks with a bit of colour, not a fan of black & white decks that much.
Personally, I won't be pledging, but I do wish you luck. I like to see people succeed at something they truly love.
I can see that you are trying to be different just for the sake of being different which I can appreciate somewhat. However, that one old expression comes to mind when I look at this project... " If it isn't broke, don't fix it."
JMO.... I wish you all the luck with your endeavor.
Usually I love the non-traditional but the pictures just seem so random I imagine this would be a nightmare to try to play with, so essentially what is left is 56 cards with pictures on them. Maybe a guessing game at best. While the images are quirky and fun the back of the card is probably the worst I have ever seen. The box is cool and I do like the style, I just wish there were some indies to turn it from picture cards into a playable deck.
QuoteHOW DOES IT WORK?
Each of the cards features an illustration or phrase that depicts the card's value and suit in a new and surprising way. For example: An octopus depicts one of the eights. A lion is one of the kings. The ten commandments is one of the tens.
For the suits, we've created four distinct families of illustrations or phrases. Each thirteen-card family has its own style and theme. Cards that go together in a family make up each suit. We've also created two very special and unusual jokers.
That's all we'll give away! The rest is for you to figure out!
This is a pretty interesting idea. So we have a random object suit, word suit, animal suit, and what looks like a cookie cutter suit. That's what I see. Looking forward to seeing more.
There you go. It's basically half way to the cut border. I was told to modify the spades. They are at the absolute edge of no mans land. My fat club extends well into the left side edge. I had to make it to where all the ranks were in the same spot in all the cards. I tried to stay close to the old suits of the Bicycle 808 series. In the future, I wish to make custom suits that are slightly bubbled in shape. In doing so, I might be able to move the indices a little farther toward the cut border and in theory a person could have 1 or 2 more cards in their hand.
That should give you an Idea. Just know that the back of card is centered while the front of card takes the shift hit....
@AdamF - Usually, you have to go with Bike stock unless demand justifies 5,000 decks of Bee stock. What you should be considering right now is the finish. Are you going with Embossed or Smooth.
