I guess we were due for another minimalist deck :roll:

No pips on the indices - sprouts won't be happy. From the little I see of the back design it looks exactly like the Bee diamond back...

Those old, overly complex cards are so distracting you guys. Can't ever get a decent game going.

I have to say, even the pips are ugly. And thats the only "design" they did.

They say "passion for card games" but the lack of pips on the indices says otherwise.

Not true! They wrote the word "design" on some pieces of paper as well!

It's bad enough that this funded but now they are voting on the faces. Either the current face with no corner pips or faces with indexes but no other pips. Last I checked minimalist doesn't mean less or no pips. Can't believe people support something with no back design and call it revolutionary too, ugh.

Well only for $1300. And the pic I posted above does kinda show that at least on of their backers is actually the creator switching between accounts and mistaking to switch back before commenting on his own comment.

I'm finding it amazing how many of these projects are popping up that seem to be someone funding it a heap themselves just to get the small amount of cash they might from a couple of backers that get sucked in...

Sorry, if you put up a public vote on a major aspect of a design, then you are doing it wrong. :cry:

I guess they didn't want to admit that they forgot about the indices. What kind of card games do these guys play anyway? Solitaire? (that also goes for the backers who are buying the decks to play with.) I bet the creators are trolling around and hesitant to make an appearance here.

Looks like the Splash deck is also connected to these guys.
The creator of the Splash deck shows Perry Kyte but if you click his biography it says Pardeep Kainth.
The creator of the Sympl deck is Randeep Singh Kainth.

Well congrats to Randeep/Tarun for outing himself and possibly screwing himself over, lol.

Dodgy Brothers.... Literally.

Unbelievable they are able to manage to launch 2! deck designs :roll: at the same time where neither of them have a back design.

Took another look at that Tarun guy and he also had a project, wasn't playing cards but there is a slight resemblance in the name. Sympl deck and Sleev. Both misspelled with missing letters, seems like the same person came up with it.

You should read some of the comments on the Sleev project. He's being called out on that one as reselling something that is already available but at a significant price increase. He claims that his product is not the same, but hasn't provided any real proof of the difference. The more I see of these 3 projects, the more I'm convinced I won't back any project from Pradeep/Tarun/Randeep/Any other name they want to make up.
