A good joker card could be of the tiger riding a bicycle, that's one of the reason's why it lost it's mind...

Here are the courts from the prototype that I have. They are pretty close to what the final product would look like. Pardon the quality. It was taken using my phone.

Some courts look custom, some don't.

They all are! We simplified their clothes, enlarged them, (tried to)made the faces more youthful and edited the colour scheme.

I don't mind the nearly standard courts - you'll buy this deck for the backs anyway.

Thanks. I love the backs as well. The courts are nearly standard but they we have tweaked it to be more modern.

Also, I am doing a small contest over on my instagram @siegismyname. I know the price is not much but I appreciate your help.

Hey guys, we are on the last leg of preparations for Mantecore, which would launch on 15 June 15, and would need your help to spread the word. I am hosting a contest over at my Instagram page https://instagram.com/p/3qqKokOne6/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; where you could win 1 of 4 decks. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Nothing wrong with IGG as a platform - but the only deck on there I've seen succeed... funded on kickstarter after failing on indiegogo. Fact is KS gets better exposure and people trust it for these kinds of campaigns.

I'll likely pledge for this - but i don't have much hope in it funding there.

That's the currently plan for now. As a campaigner from Singapore, I am unable to start But we are trying to get a friend on board to help do the campaign on Kickstarter. I hope you understand. I would very much hope for Kickstarter as well.

I hope with the right marketing and your help, we are able to get the decks funded. Like I said, I was really hoping to get it on Kickstarter. Also, kickstarter seems to not allow funds collected for the campaign to be donated to a charity, which I am still working out with them.

It has been a mad race. But stay on your seats guys. There will be an Early Bird discount as well so be there early. I will try my best to answer all queries and make this campaign smooth sailing for you guys. Thank you for all the support. For those that are not able to paypal, I hope to work something out or you could always group buy :). Our goal (USD 7k)will also be set low such that it will be to break even for it to be easier for us to reach it and fund the project. Hopefully this will help.

I'm confused, what charity would you be collecting funds for?
