  • I like birds.

That deck is absolutely hideous.

However, I do like the concept for the jokers.

Haven't been following new decks all that much for the last few months and this is the first thing I see...

What have we come to?
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

"Eat more bacon"... well, I guess that back design isn't going to find very backing from the Vegetarian, Jewish, or Muslim community.

I like pigs... but I prefer animals alive, rather than dead.

Nice artwork, but I'll be passing brother.
With this signature I'm following the example set by Fes: There is only ONE letter L in my display name. "Holly" is a female name... and I'm a bearded guy who's into weightlifting. There's nothing feminine about me brother!

You can call me an Omniverous Swine, but I really like these cards; and they make my wife smile too, so I'll be buying a few decks of these.

I think they are beautifully original, and both fun and funny; so I can easily see these being used by me for card games and themed tricks for young and old alike.

I truly love bacon. I mean really love it. Bacon cards are a cool concept, but these fall short in my eyes. Pigs serving bacon? Wow! I liked the last bacon deck a lot more, but funding fell short on it. These just don't suit me.

Time to go home and fry up a big batch of applewood smoked bacon...mmm!

You think this is bad, you haven't really looked around yet!  :))

Not my cuppa.  The backs are terrible - they could have done much better than something that looks like an ad slogan from the Pork Industry.

From what I can see I haven't missed too much.

I do like the court cards on these a little. But the deck over all is  :( :-\

Has 'Bacon' been done before...well yes, so not original concept but it is an interesting style. So thanks for sharing CBJ and good luck on your kickstarter!

It's actually not Jason's Kickstarter.  Go check out collectableplayingcards.com.

Tangent: I always thought that was misspelled, but I checked and learned that collectable and collectible are both accepted spellings, at least these days.  Same thing with judgement and judgment.

I decided to get one deck as a gift for my brother who loves bacon. Wish the back looked a little better but the courts do look nice IMO

Sorry Jason, good luck Mike.
Fun Fact: it is Bacon week in Australia right now, good timing on the KS launch. :)
