Hello. It?s me again. Just wanted to let you guys know that our Kickstarter will be live on 1 Feb, 0000 (GMT+8).

Here are some pictures. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey guys, I am really excited to share that I am finally working on the next edition in the Mantecore series. However we would like to do something different this time.

We would like you to submit YOUR playing card design and stand a chance to WIN a brick of the next Mantecore deck with your design when it is funded.

This might just be the most elaborate collaboration ever! If you ever wanted your design on a deck of cards and work with Edo Huang, read on.

Having so many people love our previous 2 decks and give us valuable feedback on how we can improve our deck, we thought what better way to move forward than to incorporate YOUR ideas and design into our next Mantecore deck.

If you could design a tiger themed deck of playing cards, how and what would it look like? Here?s how to submit your design/ideas:

1. Sketch or describe the idea for an ace, the back design, the court cards or even the jokers.
2. Post your ideas on your Instagram page with the hashtag #mantecor3 and #mantecore and tag @mantecore so that we can keep track of it. Do send us a dm with the design if your acc is private.

Note: If you do not have Instagram you could also email your ideas/design to mantecorepc@gmail.com.

Disclaimer: All design/ideas submitted to us will allow us to use your design in part or fully if selected.

We will choose 5 of our favorite design/ideas and Edo will incorporate them into the final design.

The plan is to get the deck on Kickstarter by the start of year of the tiger in 2022(1 Feb). If the deck is funded, the 5 submissions that we choose will receive one brick of the newly funded Mantecore deck shipped to you on the house.

Submissions end 31 July and our favourite picks will be announced on 15 Aug.

Hey,

I am interested. Will you ship to Singapore?

Cheers
Ben

Thank you for the feedback once again Hankman. I just pulled out my Red Serpentines and they indeed have that reddish marks on the side of the cards. I'll ask Lawrence about this.

I am amazed that you actually put a card into the fish tank.

Hey guys! Since all the backers decks have been shipped, I just wanted to check in if any of you have received your decks and what you think of them.

Ben

Hey guys, it's me again. We have been working really hard back end to get the printed ASAP. We are glad to announce that this deck will come in 1 colour but 2 finishes, diamond and emerald from LPCC. This allows you to better choose the finish that suits your needs. By default, you will receive the diamond finish deck as promised on the campaign page (http://igg.me/at/mantecore/x/5105034). But of you would prefer the emerald finish ones, just drop me an email and I will take care of the rest.

For those that are unaware, the Mantecore campaign is still available for pledging. The InDemand phase of the campaign will officially end at the end of the month. After that, the price of the decks will be at least $12 at retailers. So do grab a couple at the campaign price if you're interested. Here is the link once again http://igg.me/at/mantecore/x/5105034

Cheers
Ben

Thanks! I can't wait for the decks to be printed as well.

Hey guys. We are FULLY FUNDED. Mantecore Playing Cards is officially going to be a thing. Thank you if you have pledged. If you haven't and wanna help us out a little more and maybe hit our stretch goal, out campaign is still up for another 20 hours. After this campaign, the decks will not be sold at this price. So do grab one or more or an uncut sheet if you are interested. Here is the link. http://igg.me/at/Mantecore

Congrats to you and Edo for reaching the funding goal 

Thank you for your pledge as well.

We are now InDemand on the Indiegogo site. But not for long. So grab them while you still can.

Hey guys,

I just wanna update that we are 20% to our goal with 3 days left. SO CLOSE!! http://igg.me/at/mantecore

There is great news for all backers and people who are about to pledge. The prices of pledges will still be the same but, every deck pledged will get you one of over 200, 1024px by 1024px digital artwork by Adrian Valenzuela which he is selling for $5 each. The more you pledge the more you get. You can check out his artwork on AV's Instagram. Here is a sample of his artwork. This will all only happen if we reach our goal of USD 7,000. Attached is a sample of his artwork.

Continue to spread the word and we should be there in no time.

Also, we recently got featured in a blog post in World of Playing Cards. http://www.wopc.co.uk/blog/mantecore-playing-cards

Hey Everyone,

We just past the 4k mark and are giving away 1 of 6 of the prototype deck as a way of saying thanks. Every deck pledged from now till the end of the week, will get double the chance. All decks pledged before will get one chance each. So if you have been putting that thought of pledging on hold, this week might be a good time to do so. The draw will be done using random.org this coming Sunday.

We also released a Q&A talking about Mantecore and some other stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-ggR0UgOwo
