Wow. Now this is what you call a fully customized deck and in a good way. You can really see the 1 year of effort put into this deck. Plus it is based on one of the 4 great Chinese classical novels. Like the fact that they have based on different scenes from the novel. A great companion to the Water Margin deck.
All this at a low price per deck, considering it's Bicycle branded to boot. Most KS have Bicycle branding as a stretch. I actually prefer not to have the branding as it takes up space which could have gone into the art.
Really a pity that shipping is rather high. But I'm in.
I would love to see an updated tuck box as a stretch goal, rather than a limited, gilded set. Something like how Card Experiment had the Bicycle Sumi and the Sumi Craft edition. It makes the Bicylcle fans happy and the collectors happy. Let's see an embossed tuck!
Though the glossy, standard tuck is a let down, I love the custom cards. They are whimsical and very well-done. This will go on my wishlist to grab on the secondary market, fo sho.
I like these cards, very cute and fun. I echo the sentiment of an upgraded tuck over a gilded version. At least some embossing on matte stock. I normally do not like 4 color suits, but since the pips are custom little pictures, they seems to fit well enough.
I really like the overall concept of the deck and specially from Riffle Shuffle at that. My only wish is to make the faces white and remove the "weathering" effect.
This is quite nice! For sure a step up from the two previous Riffle Shuffle decks.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Being a fan of the Monkey King stories, I am in! I think an upgraded tuck would be a better stretch goal, that way you can incorperate the Monkey King's "Crown"
This deck is insane. It handles like you would expect a bike deck would. The colors are great, and as TwoPiece states, a fair amount of work was put into this deck and it shows.

What? This deck is already produced? The campaign finished like days ago, right?

It's Riffle Shuffle, the same line with Bocopo and TCC who already have the cards produced and selling in advance in China before the Kickstarter ends. Not suprised at all

I’m glad I cancelled my pledge on this one in the end. This is not what Kickstarter should be about. Not backing ever again.
I wouldn't say the campaign ended just days ago, it was the beginning of June when it ended. It was quick though and they could have been printed beforehand I suppose. Riffle shuffle has been putting out a lot of decks this year, on and off KS.
I got mine yesterday, overall, I really like the deck. I didn't go over every court with a fine tooth comb but I did notice there are at least 4 courts which are subtly one way.
