  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.
Was reminded of these recently, anyone ever hear anything more about them?
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

I've not heard anything, I think it's safe to assume based on this quote, below...

I like it, when am I going to be able to purchase?

Not sure yet if these will actually be produced - will depend on a few things...

For anyone who is interested in seeing this deck actually get printed, please request an invitation at the mundaine.com website so I can get an idea of how many people are out there.

Thanks!

...that there was insufficient interest in the project.  The website is still live, though unchanged.  The Facebook page is still live as well, but hasn't had a new post in over ten months.

It's one thing if you spoof something major like a huge project or an entire genre, but this was a spoof of a single limited-run deck done in two or three colors.  Spoofs, like sequels, will often generate a good percentage of the original, but only that - a percentage, a fraction of what the primary project did.  For Hollywood, that percentage rule of thumb is 80% - this means that if a movie makes enough money that a sequel can be made profitably based on a box office take of 80% of what the original movie earned, that sequel is almost certain to get the go-ahead.  For playing cards, I'm guessing it's significantly less, though there's always the outliers on the far end of the Bell curve.
