The New Deck Report and Archive

[Samurai007]

I received my Medusa deck in the mail today.  Beautiful artwork, and I like the custom pips that look interesting but are still recognizable as the proper suit.  My only small complaint would be the grey border around the art.  It's not as bad as the grey borders on the Heraldry deck because this has a white background, not a grey one like that deck, but it still makes it look somewhat blurry and not as sharp as it could be, especially on the Jokers.  Still, I like the deck a lot and would recommend it for anyone looking for a nice fantasy themed deck.

[Don Boyer]

Congratulations to Fat Panda Design Group - the New York Lights deck reached it (admittedly tiny) goal with just under two weeks to go.  I'll be interested in seeing the deck, but I also like watching car accidents as they happen, so... 

New KS project: Bicycle Mount Olympus.  (Thanks for the tip, GBAllison.)

Three new USPC in-house projects: Bicycle Skull Playing Cards, Bicycle Kings Card Game and Bicycle Cherub.  (Thanks to CBJ and the blog at Brooke Michael's Poker World.)

[Don Boyer]

There's a new excuse for a project on Kickstarter today: "Water Proof Playing Cards!"  As if they weren't invented nearly a CENTURY ago...

In an act of mercy, the creator of "Out of this World Space Age Playing Cards" canceled his project about four hours ago rather than force us to watch it spiral down the drain.  It raised only $246 in pledges on a goal of $6,625 and had been scheduled to die ignominiously about a day from now.

(Yes, I am cranky today.)

The Moonshine deck supposedly debuted yesterday - and almost immediately crashed Enigma Ltd.'s servers.  A half-day later, still crashed.

A new deck started on KS yesterday - the Mystic deck, by LaBelle Cards/Jean LaBelle.

Keep an eye out on KS later today - the Sultanate deck is scheduled to begin its project.

Elite Playing Cards announced on Facebook that the Ritual deck in gold will go up for pre-release on Monday, so be on the lookout for that.  It's a previously-unreleased limited edition of only 500 decks.

UC is back online and now "powered" by Brooke Michael's Poker World - welcome back to the community!  I have some new intel about decks not previously listed here - acknowledgement to United Cardists and CBJ:

• Released earlier this year:
• Ouija deck
• Bicycle Stussy Rummy Games set (red, black {in blue box})
• Coming soon:
• Karnival Renegades (purple)
  
• Karnival Assassins (green)

...and one deck whose release date is unknown, Bicycle Burton (as in Burton Snowboards).  If anyone has additional info on this deck, please create a topic and let us know!

[Don Boyer]

The current word on Enigma Ltd.'s servers is that they'll be back online Tuesday, no specific time given yet, and sales of the Moonshine deck will resume - assuming they even got a chance to start, that is... 

No new KS decks today - hard to say if it's a curse or a blessing, looking at some of the recent projects.  This does mean, though, that the Sultanate deck is behind schedule.

Surprise!  Enigma, Ltd. got their servers up and running in the past day so you may order Moonshine decks now.

Again, no new KS projects and no word on the Sultanate deck.

The KS project "Water Proof Playing Cards" have been retitled to "Party Proof Playing Cards".  Obviously this guy never attended any of my parties...  My poker crew utterly destroyed a two-deck set of Kems in a single night, back in the day...  I miss those Kems...  They were originals, before the USPC takeover.  Different plastic, I think...

Slow news day.  As before, no new KS projects and no word on the Sultanate deck.

It's so slow, in fact, that I'm adding a new feature to the KS projects: launch dates as well as closing dates.

LATE EDIT: the Bicycle Black Tie deck is now in release.

LATER EDIT: two new additions to the Company Projects list: Bicycle Nautic (inverted black) and a new, redesigned Bicycle Prestige 2-Deck Set.

WEEKLY KICKSTARTER PREDICTIONS

I'm about a day late, but better late than never.  Last week's predictions for Vixa (fail), Forbidden Kingdoms (fail) and Out of This World Space Age (fail) all came to pass.  Let's see what's coming up soon.

• ENDING THIS WEEK
• Thu (late Wed in N. America): Bicycle The Hedge - still predicting a close near 150%, though the project has actually lost about $400 in the past week.  It's barely under 125% now.[/color]
• Thu: SiShou - Four Beasts - the project is at a standstill, practically no change in funding from a week ago.  It doesn't look good.  I hear the creator is considering a less-ambitious project, starting with a single deck color and a lower goal, using the second color as a stretch goal.
• ENDING NEXT WEEK
• Wed: New York Lights - This widely-disliked actually hit its goal last week, but has since started LOSING GROUND, now sitting at less than $50 over the goal.  There's still a chance that this could end up a failure!
  
• Thu: DFC - only gained around £100 in the past week.  At that pace, it will reach its goal in about 17 months...which it doesn't have...  I predict this will fail.
• ENDING IN TWO WEEKS
• Thu: Founders - I was predicting 300-400%, but the rate of funding has slowed dramatically in the past week.  I'm now thinking about 250% with a last-minute funding bump.  300% is possible but not likely.
• Fri: Ace Alcohol Education - no notable increase in the past week.  Will probably end at less than 5% of its goal, probably much less.
• Sat: Mirror Gaff Deck - I was predicting it would make between 100-200%, but funding has dramatically stalled (it lost ground today).  I'm now thinking it will end more like 50-75%, too short of the goal.
• ENDING IN THREE WEEKS
• Thu: Steampunk Cthulhu (NEW) - its funding pace has slowed but is far from moribund, despite the misgivings of many Discourse members.  I'm now predicting 100-150%.
• Thu: SurrealScapes - The deck as a slow pace and a high goal: the recipe for disaster.  It looks like the card community simply yawned for the most part and there's no additional interest coming from the art/design communities.  It's barely over 15% now, so even with a late bump this deck might not hit 50%.  I'm hoping the designer, Said Zalman, will consider a second run with a shorter print run and lower goal; I backed it and I think the art is intriguing.
• Fri: Bicycle Mount Olympus (NEW) - A high per-deck price and expensive overseas shipping are not helping this project one bit; nearly a week out of the gate and it's only raised about 12%.  Unless there's some serious promoting taking place soon, it'll probably close at 50-75%, even with a late bump in funding.
• Sat: Party Proof (NEW) - If anyone had doubts about some projects being a cash grab and nothing more, this should convince you those doubts were legitimate.  He's marketing a jumbo index pack of plastic playing cards as if he's reinvented the wheel so now it can climb walls.  He's added that he's planning to replace the current faces with images of sexy co-eds - and is actually trolling for them in social media!  Truly, a class act - all low.  All that plus a royally-expensive per-deck price of $20 adds up to this thing tanking in spectacular fashion.
• ENDING IN FOUR WEEKS
• Tue: Bicycle The Creatures of H. P. Lovecraft (NEW) - I'm not a fan of the art, neither are a good number of people here and does the world really need this many Lovecraftian decks in such a short time?  But it's over 40% to goal already.  It'll probably hit around 200% before closing.
• Fri (late Thu in N. America): Lost Languages: Yiddish - this project is slowing down, as most do shortly after opening, but it will need to pick up the pace.  Without added interest outside of the card community, it won't stand a chance.  As of now, I'm predicting only 50-75%.
• ENDING IN FIVE WEEKS
• Mon (late Sun in N. America): The Mystic (LaBelle) (NEW) - 100% custom appeals to some people, while the whole skulls-and-naked-angels motif is a turn-off to others. (I happen to like it, but then, I like Karnival decks as well.)  It's had a slow start but it's too early to even attempt a prediction yet.

A Kickstarter deck managed to fly under the radar since 15 February - Zombie Shuffle.  I finally caught it and included it here...

[Don Boyer]

Daniel Madison's Rounders from Ellusionist went on sale for Black Club members 4pm today.  The rest of the world gets their crack at it tomorrow, probably the same time.

A lot of KS projects with February 2013 reward ship estimates appear to have not yet delivered.  If you know of any that have started delivering, please let me know!

The KS project for SiShou - Four Beasts ended unsuccessfully tonight, raising £5,577/£9,500.  I'm hoping the creator either gives it a second try or hooks up with a company like HOPC or maybe even Ellusionist or T11 or something.  It's a very cool deck design.

New KS deck project: Sean Whelan's Bicycle Lucent - this is "round two" for this deck.  Better luck this time, we hope!

LATE UPDATE: HOPC just announced that Ornate Amethyst and Emerald will be released Thu 7 Mar @ 8pm Eastern (Fri 8 Mar @ 01:00 UTC).

And for those who don't remember, Daylight Saving Time begins in most of North America on Sun 10 Mar at 2am local time - this changes your time difference from UTC to one hour LESS than Standard Time.

[Don Boyer]

It is with deep regret that I must inform you that Out of This World Space Age Playing Cards are back on Kickstarter, with a slightly lower goal and cost per deck. 

Two additional decks new to KS:

Bicycle The Hedge is now available in very limited quantities as a STRIPPER deck, and you can order unaltered decks as well for reasonable prices.  It's hit goal already and it's deadline is very, VERY short - less than a week remains.

Zombie Origin playing cards - you just have to read the topic, it's so out there...

EDIT: feature added - KS project creator names listed above the deck name.

[Don Boyer]

The NDR is later than usual, owning to a little down-time here at the Discourse...    That and I needed some sleep!

DUE TO REACHING THE MAXIMUM LIMIT SIZE FOR A POST (50,000 CHARACTERS) I HAVE REMOVED THE COUPON CODE CHART AND THE LIST OF 2013 RELEASES.  These will be updated separately in their own sticky topics from now on.

I've decided to leave out my Kickstarter Predictions entries.  I'm basically telling most of you what you can figure out on your own, right?  If there's some popular demand for it, I'll bring it back.

One new project on KS, mentioned yesterday in its topic but I'm posting it now.  It's actually for a video being made called "Draw Like a Boss", essentially an art instruction DVD, with the "Boss Deck" being offered as a reward tier.  Odd thing is, the video itself is NOT offered.  And the goal is way high, thirty thousand British pounds.  At sixteen days to go and not quite a third of the way there, the project doesn't stand a lot of hope, but they DID create a draft project page for the deck alone, which might be a "plan B" if the video project fails to raise the needed funds.

Update on an upcoming KS project: Mamluk Reborn, renamed Sultanate, is now renamed again to Sultana (which I think sounds cooler).  It's been held up by the Kickstarter verification process but should see the light of your computer screen very soon.

Another forthcoming project: 4PM Designs is releasing Bicycle Grid 2.0 to KS tomorrow at 4PM Eastern (21:00 UTC).  It's a white deck this time, with inks that are only visible under UV light hiding certain features - one example was a card reveal on a different card.

The KS for the Bicycle the Hedge stripper deck has now added reward tiers offering unaltered decks and the last few remaining uncut sheets - if you missed the original KS project, last chance to jump in and get yours.

Moving Ornate Amethyst and Emerald to 2013 Releases.

KS project DFC closed without achieving its funding, raising £1,126/£9,000.

A new KS project from Albino Dragon opens later today, Bicycle Synthesis, with a cyberpunk theme.

Also on KS, as scheduled, 4PM Designs launched their Bicycle Grid 2.0 project.

Finally, an unexpected KS launch of a deck that's been around the block twice before - Flowers (formerly Bicycle Flowers) from Alien Slink (formerly Alien Ink).  Third time's the charm?  Remains to be seen...

LATE EDIT: got a report of the Bicycle Nautic Backs on sale in LA at WalMart - in white and PINK.  Moving them to the 2013 Releases.

Moving Bicycle Truth Garden No. 03 to 2013 Releases.  Should have done it when it had its release in China, but I left it around since I knew many non-Chinese residents were waiting for this one.

As stated yesterday, a new KS project from Albino Dragon opened today, Bicycle Synthesis, with a cyberpunk theme.  Congratulations are in order - the project reached its goal within a handful of hours.  There's nowhere to go from here except up!

Also on KS, Sir Nelson canceled his Bicycle Mount Olympus project just over an hour ago, with $1,045/$7,500.  The project's deadline was just under two weeks away.

Another reminder - In most of North America, Daylight Saving Time ends in about a day from now.  This will subtract one hour from your time zone's difference to UTC as we are west of Greenwich, UK.  Use this time calculator or one like it if this gets confusing, especially for people outside of North America trying to synch up with US release dates/times.

Sunday morning...
1:59:59 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST) = 06:59:59 UTC
Exactly one second later...
3:00:00 AM Eastern DAYLIGHT Time (EDT) = 07:00:00 UTC
...and that, folks, is why I like posting times in UTC.  No pesky "summer time" changeovers.

New deck on KS, straight from our own Design/Dev board: Bicycle geoDeck.

Also on KS, Bicycle the Hedge (Stripper Deck Special Edition) had a successful close today at $4,024/$700.

Between the one opener and the one closer, we're still running steady at NINETEEN active playing card deck projects...

Lastly on KS, congratulations to Feels Right Design, who just squeaked over the goal line by $8 on their Zombie Shuffle deck with about a week remaining before the close, as well as to Alexa Boccieri, whose Animal Instinct deck reached goal in just two days.

LATE EDIT: in the topic on a possible red version of the Daniel Madison Rounders from Ellusionist, Jake (Xntrix) confirmed in this post that to his knowledge no such project exists.  He also let slip that there are two OTHER deck projects on his calendar that are coming up.  I'm placing them on the Upcoming Company Projects.

New deck for the Company Projects list: Deco, by Encarded, designed by Paul Carpenter and due out later this year.

Everything else here is Kickstarter-related...

Bicycle 8-Bit Playing Cards, in all FOUR versions, are on pre-order at GameSalute.com, along with the dice and the cassette soundtrack.  Release is listed as "Q2 2013", which is in line with their reward ship date of June 2013.

Tuesday next week will be a banner day on Kickstarter for deck collectors: three projects (Bicycle Steampunk Cthulhu, Zombie Shuffle & SurrealScapes) all close in the same 24-hour period!

With three days remaining, the Mirror Deck successfully hit its goal.  This deck can be a valuable tool for magicians, so get on board while you can.

We have THREE new deck projects today!

• The long(ish)-awaited Sultana Playing Cards, based on the art of Mamluk, Egypt
• Vict Playing Cards - a fusion of Victorian and modern style
• Bicycle Nothing Personal - a commemorative deck to celebrate the successful completion of the "Nothing Personal" Mafia-based board game which closed on KS last November at over 300% of goal.

[Don Boyer]

On KS, Bicycle Quicksilver was moved to the 2013 Releases list - it's arriving in backers' mailboxes.

We have TWO MORE new deck projects today!

• Bicycle Federal 52 - US currency-themed deck, already more than halfway to its goal.
• Desjgn Playing Cards - two plastic poker designs each available in eight colors.

This brings Kickstarter to a new record of TWENTY-FOUR active deck projects.  At least it was before the Founders deck closed at $37,092/$13,000 about seven hours ago.  And here I thought it would reach 300%...    So now we're at twenty-three active decks.

Feature added: since there's a number of projects with goals in "unround" numbers, I'm posting project goals in actual dollar/pound amounts.  Pledges will still be listed in thousands of $ or £ and rounded to the nearest hundred.
