Hmmm.... Not sure how I feel about this deck.  I kind of like it and yet something seems off.  The font on the courts is different than that of the tuck and ace but thats not it.... ::)

It may be the indices and colors. The side by side front and pip, color block vs muted colors of the faces. I felt it, when I first saw it. Then I decided to roll with it and it turned into a pleasure. The little fish skele at the bottom of the tuck is on the card back. It's actually pretty charming from what I saw.  :)

It's cute, but a few things kill it for me.  Horizontal indices, for one.  A very limited color palette, for two - this could have looked really stunning in full color.  In this, for lack of a better term, "slate blue-scale" they look too much like each other.

He's changed the indices to the more functional layout that we're used to. I think it helps quite a bit. While I won't go heavy on this, I think it's worthy of snagging a deck or two myself. :)

The indices do look better however the indices on the red cards need to be the same as on the black.  The red should show through the graphic that I assume was added as a filler for the naked space left when changing them from vertical to horizontal.  :)

It would be nice to see the numbered cards have that many fish on them, eg. 7 fish on the 7 cards.

It might be a little too cramp, especially on the high numbers.

I have to agree. It looks nice for a while...but gets real boring real fast. I wouldn't really go full colour, by a few more different splashes definitely would help

I also hope he does something different to the Aces as well. Maybe use bobbers or floats as well. While the hooks are probably trying to say "A", 4 of the same hooks really seems dull

I am absolutely appalled at the lack of puns in response to this deck. Really, people! It's called "Fishing for Compliments," and nobody else has noted that this deck as a lure?

Sheesh!

GOOD: Customized each card in the deck. Great resource on fish. Good style. Great box.
BAD: Is the K font completely different to the A? I am not into fishing.

Not bad, cod do batter. If you can think of a better fish pun, let minnow.

Walleye think this is a pretty neat idea. It's a lot better than a bunch of crappie decks on KS now. I might just have to snag a couple.  :)

It's a bit odd and not entirely with the theme of the deck - but it's hard to deny that it's a great shade of purple!

My name is Stacey Jay Kelly and I have recently designed a deck of Illustrated Fresh Water Fishing Playing cards.

They are currently featured on Kickstarter.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1286767458/fishing-for-compliments-playing-cards

I was hoping you would be interested in sharing this project or directly interested in pledges to receive a personal deck or bulk pack of decks.
best wishes and thank you so much.

I think a chance to defend my deck is in order :) Many of the responses are to old design. My current Kickstarter has fixes to all of the problems mentioned earlier. There is also a survey underway to give backers the chance to decide the colours of the suits that ties in with the project I will share some more images now of the full deck but they can all be seen on my Kickstarter.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1286767458/fishing-for-compliments-playing-cards?ref=category

Its great to see all the comments about my deck also, thanks for spreading the word and I have listened carefully to everyones advice.

best wishes and good luck with your own projects. Feel free to ask any questions.
