Hey Everyone,
A new Deck I designed with USPCC and CPC should be in Walgreens stores now, or very soon (probably for $3.99 or $4.99).
The interesting thing is this Deck wouldn't have happened without the 52 Joker Convention! At last year's Convention in Schaumburg, Steve Brooks introduced me to Mike, the owner of Collectable Playing Cards. We hit it off and started talking about possibilities of getting some Decks into big retail stores.
My goal with the Bicycle EMOJI Deck was to create a Deck that kids would love, and one that was tasteful enough for their parents to actually play games with their kids.
When I created the PIP Emojis, I built a starting point that contained 4 different sets of eyebrows, 4 different sets of eyes, 4 different sets of mouthes and a handful of unique features like Heart Eyes, the Halo, Sunglasses, Tear Drops.... Between all of those different options, I think I ended up with only 2-6 different faces that were used more than once.
Below are some photos I took of the Cards and Tuck.
thanks, Randy
