Botanica & Verdana by Curio (ill. Amal Nur Karim) [KS]

[BaconWise]

Greetings!

I am getting closer to launching Botanica and Verdana - the sequel to my Anatomica and Alterna campaign. There are still plenty of details to lock down (printer, add-ons, etc) but the artwork is nearly complete. This stupid poem features the Ace of Hearts and I am so excited to bring this one to life soon. Stay tuned for more info!

- Two Unique Decks as the core of the campaign
- One Special Edition available to anyone. Hopefully including something fantastic
- Collector's Coin for sure

[Strag]

Liking it all so far!

I'm way too excited for this one <3

This theme is not for me but as always with bacon, amazing artwork. I'm never usually a fan of add-ons but that rib cage thing is cool.

Another very good card concept. I like how it's related to the first one.

Okay that hand-painted deck sleeve is exactly the sort of thing I LOVE in my collection Do I dare ask how much it'll cost?

[GandalfPC]

Not sure how much it will cost, but its best to be prepared…

From all evidence so far Bacon is one of the few creators really pushing innovation and originality, kudos mate happy to be working with you on the fulfilment again for this one

[GandalfPC]

More Bacon please

I am very excited for this sequel to Anatomica and I appreciate the interest! I have been battling with the pricing for a while and it will likely be something like this:

$30 - Botanica & Verdana pair
$26 - Special Gilded Edition
$15 - Sprout Mini
$16 - Coin
TBD - Walnut Display Case

$75 - Special Gilded Edition with hand-painted deck sleeve. The sleeve is going to be expensive to produce so I should probably have it higher but I just don't see backers getting the sleeve and deck for $90-$100.

Still working on tier pricing for the All-in tier and the Walnut display case.

Final thing I didn't think about adding to the post in Instagram is the half-brick box that will be free with six decks or more. Two foils and embossing plus a family photo

[GandalfPC]

I did have a feeling it would be affordable, as Curio projects are always very well priced - but I didn’t want to guess after seeing that sleeve in all its awesomeness

To display our walnuts?

Woah, multiple shipping agents! One of the extremely rare times where Malaysia shipping is cheaper than the rest of the world. Thanks for working with multiple retailers to do fulfillment and reduce the cost for us.

Curious if going this route actually costs more for you vs going with 1-2 partners for fulfillment? Really hope that others will start following this route to reduce shipping costs.

Congratulations on funding . I like that the mini has it's own box art, back design and courts. Lovely project. Just like the first one you did with Amal, unfortunately not quite to my personal taste, designwise but I enjoyed the campaign page and all those nice details you plant in, to make your decks/projects stick (does it count as a botanical pun?) out from the rest. Always rooting for your projects from the back seat .

...to make your decks/projects stick (does it count as a botanical pun?) out from the rest.

I believe a stick would be defined as dead plant, so it counts, for sure

Thanks for the kind words!

Hey Folks,

Backers are starting to receive their rewards! Here is a link to a backer's YouTube unboxing of the full line of decks and accessories, if you are curious:

Will you have any leftover decks for sale?

[Bradius]

I had to back out of this campaign due to too many other projects I was backing at the time. I was in for a full set of those goodies, including that sweet hand painted deck holder. After watching the video, I am crying a bit. It looks so nice. Thanks for sharing the unboxing video.

[BaconWise]

Will you have any leftover decks for sale?

I will have quite a few left over, including the extras if that floats your boat. Keep an eye on my IG profile (@curio_playingcards) for details on the website launch. I will do a pre-order kind of thing in the next couple of weeks once fulfillment winds down. I will have a few giveaways as well

[Harvonsgard]

Can't wait to see what the is cooking next. I love everything about how curio goes about business. Unfortunately none of their projects have hit my sweet spot artwise but I'm lookin forward to the campaign I'm going to sploooosh some money.

Thank you for the kind words Keep an eye out for my next project, State of War. It will be vastly different in tone and style to my previous decks, so perhaps this one will speak to you. Cheers
