  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.
I really like the little details on this deck, the pips connected to one another, the line falling from the indices, the simple but attractive courts and the design printed on the inside of the tuck. I almost wish they had used that design as the card back. Overall I really like this deck
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

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

Blackout Brother doesn't disappoint with these. Of course, I'll be crossing my fingers yet again that USPCC doesn't fall asleep at the wheel and actually does a good job printing. I like both color choices but I find I'm drawn to the red on white a bit more. I may find myself adding on a couple more of them than the black, but it is a Gamblers campaign which means there's going to be some limited versions so I'm going to have to wait and see what comes before making any hard decisions.

If I'm reading it right, they are being printed by EPCC.

You're not reading it right. Look at the tucks.  ;)

Edit: Hahaha, you were reading a portion right! I love it!

You must have eagle eyes, I can't see a tuck with printed by. So the page now says this. Though Im not sure this confirms or denies anything. Round up the forensic scientists.

The tucks say Bicycle. United Stated Playing Card Company is the only company in the world that you'll ever see producing Bicycle branded decks. If anyone else even thinks about it all kinds of lawyers, some wielding Machete's I hear, come out of the wood work and do what Machete wielding lawyers do. Not something I want to think about for too long... The horror.

Yep, Gamblers fixed the error on the campaign page this morning to reflect the printer of the decks. It was just a slip of the page layout since Gamblers prints with both Expert Playing Cards Company and United States Playing Card Company pretty frequently.

Just a couple hours ago they posted in an update some gorgeous renders of their Gilded Deck Stretch Goal. Here's the images. The red one is super sexy in my opinion. I really do like them both and will make a play to get whatever the limit is on each decks cause, Damn! Hahaha. :))

Mark, it's an automatic - Bicycle-branded, USPC-manufactured.  Never the twain shall part, at least not until Jarden tears the company apart and sells the assets piecemeal to whoever pays the most for them!  :))  To say anyone else made them is equivalent to finding a classic '77 Ford Corvette for sale, or finding a classic, pre-OS X Macintosh running any version of the Windows OS factory-installed.  It's clear GW goofed the text, especially in light of how they have standing business relationships with both USPC and EPCC.

Thanks guys, I realized how blind I was. I'm in software so I'm usually looking for the tiny nasty bug rather than the thing that is staring me in the face.

Gilded Sets Now Available! Nicely priced in my opinion.
Edit: only 250 sets available. Price is for a set which is two decks one of each.

Quote
The pricing will be as follows: $48 US / $52 CAN / $54 Rest of World.

Has anyone open their gilded regal deck? I am very interested to know how do they look compared to traditional gold gilded colour.
I am having hard time deciding if I should back for the gilded set here... I am not sure if I will like how it turns out.
Back for more

Unfortunately I didn't get in on a set of gilded Regals or I'd be happy to let you know. It's one of the few I haven't been able to snag. I'm curious as well but there was no way it was going to hold me back from popping in for a set of gilded Gentlemen this go round. The price is very nice for a gilded set, I think.

I was able to get one each of all four Regal gilded decks. They were without cellophane or tuck seals when I bought them directly from GW retail store so I couldn't resist opening. They are stunning to look at and have received mixed responses from WOW that’s cool to Damn those are gaudy. I was concerned if they would hold up to use and although I haven't shuffled them much I do find them comparable to any other gilded deck I’ve shuffled. I am happy to have them in my collection. I also have the four markers; one for each deck color.
