This is great!

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.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a penguin. Have you ever met a sad person with a penguin?

Looks awesome, but is it trustworthy? 18 yr old, low funding requirement, not many posts on insta and first project created with no backed projects.

Well the creator is 18 years old... Low funding goal might be explained on that he has no actual idea on how much money is needed to print a deck. I'll contact him via KS.

I talked with the creator, does not strike me as a scammer but rather as a young creator that didn't do any homework on the numbers or running a campaign and just launched straight away.

Didn't know that 1,225 USD is not enough to print by USPCC...

I invited the creator to join us and adviced to cancel the project, do the homework on the numbers and running a campaign and relaunch as a proper campaign once that was done. I'm sure that people here can give advice to make this into a worthwhile campaign.

Yeah tell him he needs to proof read the tiers too because he has 2 6 deck tiers and 1 is supposed to be 12 if I understand correctly.

To quote: "Experience the work of an 18 yr designer creating a full deck of cards with Wild King theme". I don't read it as that he's 18 years old but rather 18 years experienced designer?

Nah, the creators description on Kickstarter profile states "18 yr old entrepreneur"

Yup. Me too.


I'd suggest a name change, lest there be any morons in a hurry.

A calculated marketing decision, methinks.

ditto - and a pretty transparent and not very clever attempt no less :halfstar: :ugthink: lol :lol:

But seriously, compared to what's constantly being churned outta the 'ol KS maschine these days, the art on this deck is actually pretty good for a first-time creator and there's def potential there so I dunno why s/he wouldn't want to be distinguish themselves with something original... :?
