Hello everyone, I’m sorry for the silence. I was hoping to have news for you all by now but things seemed to take a bit longer than everyone had anticipated with the printing. A paper stock for the tuck box was delayed then the print shop ran out of foil for one of the variations. It seems that everything should be printed over this weekend and by next week, I will have an actual update and hopfully some pictures to share. Thank you all for you patience. I am just as egar as you all about seeing this deck and getting it in hand. We are nearing the finish line! 

Stay tuned for more very soon!

Hey everyone,

As mentioned in my last update, I was going to post again once the stickers were in. Well, they have finally arrived after a few delays and you can see them below. 

Ace of spaces sticker

This sticker will be included with all kickstarter orders.


A small update on production: All sticker seals for the decks have been approved and are finishing production. The cards are still in production and the tuck boxes will be in production very soon, most likely this coming week.


Thank you all so much for you patience with this project. Everything will start coming together soon and I will post more pictures of the finished pieces as I receive them.

Im still here
over 3 years ago – Wed, Dec 02, 2020 at 08:05:38 AM

Hey everyone,

Thank you so much for your patience with everything. I was waiting to post an update untill the stickers got in but they were delayed. So, until then, i just wanted to let you all know im still here and working to get everything together and into production. The cards should begin the printing process this week or next and the tuck boxes are on the same schedule. Everything will be printing and finishing in December. I was hoping it would be finishing sooner but, as I'm sure a lot of you know, it is a busy season for card production especially with USPCC and Clove St (all of Art Of Play decks)


The stickers should be arriving this week. Once they do, ill post another update with a photo to show everyone. 


On a side not, im still waiting on about 40 people to finish their backerkit survey. If you have lost the link or don't think you have received it, feel free to reach out and I'll get you all squared away. Without the survey, I will not have an address to send your order to.


Thanks again to everyone.

Quick update
over 3 years ago – Fri, Oct 30, 2020 at 11:33:47 PM

Hey everyone.

I just wanted to give a quick followup to my last update. 


Currently, everything is inline to be printed. All the final numbers have been sent to USPCC and Clove St Press. Both are pretty backed up this time of year but its looking like we should be getting the cards in December still. 


Almost everyone has completed their backerkit survey. If for some reason, you didnt get one or are having issues getting it filled out, let me know so I can get you squared away. Without filling out the survey, I wont have an address to have your order sent to, and I don't want anyone not to receive their order.


Thanks again to each and every one of you!

Just a quick update about the surveys.

Now that the two week period for backers to correct any payment issues has passed, Backerkit surveys have started being sent out. Everyone should recieve the survey by tomorrow. If you have any issues with the survey, please don't hesitate to send me a message so we can get it corrected ASAP.


Thanks everyone!
