UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Check this project out! Finally, a deck that is dedicated to tea that actually will be made! The creator of this deck have consulted and got helped from the creator of Bastet Playing Cards. The artworks are infographics telling about how to meditate using tea. Each suit represents types of tea. The Aces show the principles of tea meditation. The courts show cute animals that formed the Chinese Zodiac. Tuckbox will have those metallic foils. The cards will be gilded, BUT here's the catch: they're PVC cards.

The aces, courts, and number cards don't match at all But that is a very nice-looking tuck

That's the only thing nice about this deck, Im afraid Gilding a plastic deck, seriously?

I think it is cool and different, just not my cup of...

No idea how she would worked this out though - she still in process of deciding the final option for it
Its between MPC or WJPCC

a little late to the party on this but i just opened this deck and it is really nice! i am not sure what i expected from plastic playing cards, obviously something not as good as paper, but these handle and look really good. i am not one that really cares about handling. these seem to have a nice glide and slip to them. the printing works really well and there is almost a matte finish which looks really good. i am sure they have no finish at all probably. the gilding worked out really well. none of the details are lost or distorted due to any kind of aircushion embossed pattern on paper. i think the stiffness is great. not stiff but not too floppy.

i kind of wish more playing cards were produced with this plastic this deck used. im really impressed. you could play a poker night and not work about spills or setting the cards down on a condensation ring left by a beer can.

PVC has come a long way. I have some modern Copag plastic cards and they handle perfect for game play. No problem with faros and such.

Love this deck and pictures <3 Got it for a relative of mine because she loves tea and she loved it.

Photos that I take for this deck. Took me quite a while to arrange everything. I definitely so happy this deck is made, the community do need a few more decks about tea

Not a fan of tea, and the faces are slightly busy for my taste (heh), although I do occasionally pick up the educational-style decks that this one evokes.

But, while I pass on this one, I gotta say the design is quite good, the integration of the bling is expertly handled, and the font choice and index design is truly inspired. It's a large part of why the overall design works: the keen eye for fontography. Well executed.

That turned out pretty great. I kinda wish I had backed it now. How do they handle?

Well, since it is pure PVC plastic, it can’t really fan out so well, and they are really bendy. BUT, you don’t have to worry the cards get stained with liquid, as it is waterproof
