Still not able to post images on UC, but this one is definitely heavy on the tuck mechanism and less-so on the artwork. The art style and color palette just fall short for me.

The biggest glaring issue for me is how they titled the deck. I would implore companies like Anti-Faro, TCC, PinLuck, Ark, and others who are not native English speakers to just reach out to collectors to get some feedback on titles, quotes, etc. This should be called Night at the Circus. Much like Horror Night should have been called Night of Horror. There was City of Mirror a while back that should have been called City of Mirrors. Don't even get me started on Whimsically Scoop. Many of these companies have already printed their decks before the campaign starts, so if there are any errors, it's too late to make changes. It's a small thing that takes very little effort to get feedback before hitting the print button. I know it's not Anti-Faro's first language which makes double-checking all the more crucial.

Known issue? I wanted to post a pic in the S17 OF Sanctuary thread but couldn’t and figured it might be a problem on my end.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

The tuck box for this Special Edition outsmarts ARK’s Apollo and Artemis, yet the artwork on the cards feels like similar to the Odd Fellows (the first five)

Fair point, and we appreciate you calling this out. English isn’t our first language, and that’s on us for not double‑checking more carefully. Next time, we’ll share titles and copy on Patreon and/or here for feedback before launch.
For this project, we referred to it internally and on Patreon simply as “Circus,” not the full title, which is why this slipped through. Lesson learned—and we’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. Thanks for the constructive feedback.

Trial of Blackbeard, Fox's Wedding, Assassin's Creed, Stellar Dread, 1001Nights.....

We're always here to help and especially catch bigger issues, TCC had their current one up in preview with the wrong deck showing in a pledge.

Let's get some pictures of these lovelies added to the thread - here goes!

This the Collector's Box:

This is the Standard Edition of the Animal Show deck, starting with the tuck box and card backs:

And the cards themselves from that deck:

Image

A Collector Coin is included in the Collector's Set and the Half Brick Set:

The Half Brick Set comes with a special Deluxe Carousel Display for 6 decks:

Besides the Animal Show deck pictured above, there's also a Freak Show deck which features a different color scheme and alternative artwork.

There's also two Special Edition decks, a Clown Show deck and a Puppet Show deck, which add a whole new level of luxury and bling. So what's pictured here is really just a look at a quarter of what the project offers.
