This is a really beautiful deck. I love the mix of realism with very graphic elements in it. I've got to say "dang" that I missed out on the early birds.

Looks like the face of each court is generally shaped like it's corresponding pip. Neat concept, but looks a little forced. For me it's a pass

Goal looks a little low, but looks like the project has a solid backing already.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

I like the level of talent applied here but I'm not fond of the theme.  I think the deck would have looked a hundred times more gorgeous if he simply did unique takes of traditional courts rather than forcing the pip shapes on the faces.  The guy's got artistic chops but this deck just isn't my style.

Here's to hoping the next deck isn't so gimmicky.

Hi all,

My name is Ben Vierck, I'm the creator of the Four Point deck.  Thanks for all the feedback and critique so far, always good to hear honest opinions.  I'm new to the forum, but looking forward to participating here in the future - beyond just this Kickstarter project.

I've gone somewhat more in-depth on the artistic and design process behind the cards with an interview with Kardify - look for it within the next couple days.  Hopefully I can change a few minds.

Cheers!
