Really appreciate that.

These looks amazing! Following to see the rest of the cards.

Whats the back design like?

I'm interested, so long as the price is right. Following.

Fun design for sure. I'm somehow not a huge fan of black and yellow though (despite liking the Steelers and Wiz Khalifa, haha).

These look pretty cool, and I'm a sucker for four-colour decks.

Looks interesting to me thus far

Now live:

A very intriguing concept with nice art, too bad that back is just not for me...would have picked this deck up otherwise

Such a short and odd list of shipping country options. You have so many Eastern European countries but no South East Asian countries in the list of countries. I would say that you have probably more people from my part of the world who grew up watching TVB and HK cinema, or actually have been to Hong Kong plus would love to get a deck plus a Blind toy box.

That is really odd and makes me wonder how well thought out is this campaign. Do you really have such a strong customer base in Estonia and Slovenia vs SE Asia? Ah well, saves me the $ .

I just did some research. Their printer and partner QPMN itself has quite a lot of bad comments in their last project :

And they never replied, some of the backers still haven't received the deck.

Turns out QPMN owns MPC. This is posted is the Surreal Hong Kong snacks thread here. So the printer is reliable in that sense.

So what makes Maze War in this situation ?

Well, while that seems to be true, according to the creator of the Surreal project, MPC will be having nothing to do with it. I don't understand their corporate structure, but that gives me pause.

Hey there! Thanks for bringing this up! We're really excited about our first Kickstarter project and we're eager to learn more about the global market. That's why we decided to prioritize shipping to Eastern European countries initially. But still, we're definitely keeping Asia in mind and will be updating the shipping options for our fans there. Stay tuned for more updates!

QPMN is actually our go-to printing partner. We've worked with them on several printing projects before, and they've always come through for us. As a newcomer to Kickstarter, we really appreciate you bringing this up, and rest assured, we're committed to ensuring our backers receive their cards on time.

Hey everyone! Totally get that there might be some confusions about QPMN's position and structure. Simply say that: QPMN, a subsidiary of the QP group (qpp.com), provides B2B2C on-demand printing and fulfillment services. QPMN empowers business partners to offer customizable products directly on their storefronts, enabling them to serve their customers with seamless Print On Demand services. Hope that clears things up!
