Not much info about this deck, and I can't see where is the pips?

That looks like a pretty weird deck; they seem to have replaced pips with other images. That looks like the 10 of... shields? Hm. An interesting idea, although I'm not a big fan of it.

Thanks phantom - there's just so many things being released this year. I don't think I'll be getting this one - the theme to me just doesn't appeal. And I honestly don't like that black and yellow color scheme.

.... not really sure what those are. They look like they were made on paint. Also they don't seem to be an actual deck, It's like they are their own card game. Who knows...

Yikes! What is that thing?
One way back, poorly designed, looks like crap, not appealing... and the list goes on

Not your standard poker decks, are they?

With that mention of the SCA, this has to be tied to something they're doing.  For those not familiar, it's the Society for Creative Anachronism, the folks who just can't get the Renaissance out of their systems so they dress in period garb and create "kingdoms" based on 17th-century Europe.

I've heard of decks that have more than four suits, and this would appear to be one of them.  For the size of the Kickstart, I'd say cheap-ass printing.
