House of Playing Cards sent a full suit from their next deck, to 52 random people.

Mechanic Deck from House of Playing Cards
----------------------------------------------------
Release Date: June 5th, 2012
Where: www.houseofplayingcards.com

The deck has Bee Stock and Magic Finish.
It has a flipbook animated back and the gears on the back, move.

i loved the flipbook animation of the Fantastique deck.
It was just a matter of time until another deck would be released with the same feature.
Now let´s think about that : What if, if you can have a forward and backward animation with those gears.
I mean during one riffle -> they go forward,backward,forward and so on.....like a machine is working.
Wonder how the animation would look like in a mixed cards (instead of new deck order) condition.
For magic use....def. something i´m interessted in!
*caugh* Triumph routine*caugh*

Another new deck already! They just released the NOCs and now another one. My poor wallet never gets a break!

The moving gears seems like a great idea! I know SacProductions101 got to see the deck, or at least part of it. The back design isn't very attractive to me, but we'll see. Bee stock and Magic Finish has proved to be an amazing combo (Tendril etc.)

Is it just me or do the colors of the court cards look extremely similar to those of Fulton's Clip Joints? I'm a bit disappointed in the fact that there isn't a lot of customization in the court cards. After the NOC decks, I was expecting more.

The court cards look like the Propaganda deck court cards.

They're releasing a new deck monthly. Get used to it...

...or for that matter, like a slightly darker version of the Guardians. So what? Basic courts with a different color scheme. They look fine to me.

Any body have a picture of the tuck case?? Edit: they sent you just one suit? Haha odd

I guess it was just to get the word out. I think its a cool, new idea.

DarrylDavis · « **Reply #10 on:** May 29, 2012, 07:51:45 PM »

I agree! It let's us build our own hype as a community dependent upon how good the deck is, instead of them force feeding us for months about how groundbreaking a new deck is before we ever see it

The deck looks nice. Somehow, the court cards remind me of something similar. Does anyone know if this coloration was previously used? The animation idea is very unique, with only a few decks having them. I can't wait til' they get out to see what the other cards and the ace looks like. Does anyone also know who received the spade packet?

I don't know if you've seen this or not, but you aren't the only one to have noticed it:

I know! I have read those posts, but other than those decks, the court cads remind me of something else. Not sure what it is though. At least the court cards math the color scheme. That's the least they can do, right?

They are also very similar or identical to the red bee stingers.

The back of the deck is an animation like fantastique decks.
Found someone posted in facebook but I lost the link to the video.

I would have been more interested in seing a different shade of coloring from the ones we've seen recently.

That is exactly what I said above. Many of us have noticed very similar shades to those of Fulton's Clip Joints, Aristocrats, Propoganda...

I am very 'meh' about this deck. I love the idea of the animation on the back, that is just all kinds of fun, but it is so VERY DRAB. Man, couldn't they have livened it up a little? There are huge numbers of black/gray decks, like thousands of them, designers need to step out a little bit and try some new things. The borders at the corner also look large enough to park an SUV in.

I might get one to play with the animated part but can't say I'll feel sad if I miss them.

The pics posted earlier were pics given to me but today, I actually received the diamonds suit of the Mechanic deck and I'm very impressed. The coloring court cards actually aren't like any other deck.

I will be posting a video tonight as well as the pics in the link below.

What do you find impressive? Also, now that you've undone the staples, will you be able to take snap pics of the animation?

DarrylDavis · « **Reply #22 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:22:32 PM »

From the pictures it looks as though the reds and the greys have a patina to them which looks very cool. I don't think this deck will be amazing but it looks like they've put the effort into it to make it a decent deck. I hope they can keep this up if they're releasing a new deck every month. I really hope they don't just start putting stuff out to just to put it out. If this is a sign of the quality of design of the decks to come I think i'm going to enjoy the house of playing cards.

Assassino13 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:38:26 PM »

Well, faces look pretty standard, ugly back, AoS will probably be reminiscent of T11 Steampunk AoS which I didn't like to much, and I don't like flip-book back designs. Pass.
