I gotta say that the one-eyed Jacks have to be the wild cards when playing with this deck.

Something I've always wondered, Bradius: Are you a crazy squirrel who hunts decks, or are you a human who hunts crazy squirrel decks? Or are you a crazy hunter who hunts regular squirrel decks?

The answer is yes.

The key repeating word is "crazy" and "yes". Well, maybe I am a human that collects playing cards like a crazy squirrel with giant cajones might hunt for nuts.

I think Star Wars has a monopoly on that with the Sabacc and Sabacc-shaped playing cards.

Don’t tell me that you can actually copyright a geometrical shape for your cards?

[rousselle]

I doubt it. Perhaps he meant that they're currently the only ones using that shape?

[laitostarr777]

But that Star Wars Sabbac shape is hexagonal? It’s not diamond though?

[rousselle]

Correct. The Sabbac deck was brought up in reference to a hexagonal shape that had been mentioned earlier in the thread.

Not in the US at least:

The Supreme Court has said that, to be creative, a work must have a “spark” and “modicum” of creativity. There are some things, however, that are not creative, like: titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring; and mere listings of ingredients or contents.

To take Timmargh's joke a bit farther:

Wife: [Now barely able to breath due to laughing so much] At least I am not the one who couldn't see that one coming.
Cyclops: Roar!

Yeah, I was using monopoly figuratively, not literally.

[Harvonsgard]

I figured but I wanted to be sure, haha.

I love the concept images Lorenzo is posting on the Patreon page. Not sure if they can be shared here. This deck is gonna rock! Definitely buying several of these.

With this guy as a joker:

[Harvonsgard]

While I liked the Eye of the Ocean Astra Polaris edition, I generally dislike tuckboxes with too much cut-outs. Especially when corners are exposed. It's kinda the tuck box' job to protect the cards so...
Not a fan of too much text on the cards as well...
I still dig the overall art of the deck. Just two nitpicks.

NO WONDER HE IS DA GOAT

He is “Lisan Al Gaib” of Playing Cards hehe

[Elohinster]

Is there any info on when the deck will be on sale? Or is it on Kickstarter?

fairly sure it was from his patreon last year.

[Evilgamer]

If Im reading/remembering the patreon right the diamond shaped version is patreon and there will be a normal poker shaped version released in the coming months on his store.

I think he mentioned there will be extra diamond shaped versions sold on his website as well.

It’s unlikely those will make it to the public. The patreons will buy them up.

I am optimistic I can get the Patreon leftovers
As last time, managed to get Solitaire XXL and Madam Laveau LTD
