By "blackjack index" do you mean the No Peek setup you did for Caicos Royale? I'd definitely buy some of those.

Go to page 1 and you'll find a graphics comparison between Regular index, Blackjack index, and Jumbo index. I believe they are all on Poker size cards, though.

I saw that. I was hoping for the no-peek markings because I'd love to use these on my blackjack table.

Not into 4-Color. Blackjack index looks great.

Yes, I will post over the weekend.

Our home game loves 4 color decks. How about 4 color deck with BJ index?

 

[desjgn]

Thank you for all of the responses and opinions. Granted I will never please everyone regardless, but here are my thoughts:

1. I prefer poker size over bridge size. I feel that as you look at the board, there is a certain "substantial-ness" with poker size faces that allows for better visibility no matter where you sit at the table, in my opinion. I am in the regular index camp also. I designed the regular index to be bold and larger than other brands. Of course, I see the benefits of those who prefer jumbo index.

2. Based on preference and votes, 4-color decks are likely to be produced in bridge size and jumbo index. However, I am going to challenge the status quo and your color sensibilities. Feel free to print these examples out and see them on your tables. I am not saying these are the best options, but let me know what you think. In addition to these options, I have thought about spades in purple, but this is a big stretch. Because I have an existing 4-color template done in regular index, I am presenting them as such, even though jumbo index will be made.

3. Back design is still up in the air, although, it will be a "casino" design, not an elaborate design. I enjoy Classic Circle and Classic Emporium for different reasons.

i like option 2

 

[RocAFella1]

Just trying to summarize - the only new option will be poker sized, 4-color, standard and jumbo index?

 

[Forty4]

I know I posted the four color blackjack index in jest but the more I thought about it it makes sense with mixed games as you’ll often have four or more cards in your hand (which regular index is better for) and a flop (which jumbo is preferred) so a hybrid makes sense.

Otherwise option 2, get that blue green present their own challenges when trying to differentiate.

 

[Darson]

For me, the main reason for the jumbo index and 4 colours is the quick and easy differentiation between cards. The red hearts/orange diamonds are too close and kinda defeat the objective of a 4 colour deck. Hence Option 2 is best. However, I would be happy to have any colour set as long as there was sufficient difference between them to make it obvious what suit you're looking at in poor light.

Option 2!

Not meaning to confuse anyone, but it will be bridge, jumbo, 4-color.

I'd like all the face cards' pips uniform like normal playing cards (top left and bottom right corner.

Not a bridge size guy, but make option 2 in poker size and I'm there.

Please elaborate on this. Does having this on the court cards help with reading the board? KEM, Gemaco, and others do not follow this.

 

[Darson]

By the way, in case I didn't make this clear earlier. there are currently no available plastic cards which are bridge/4-colour/jumbo so I'm super happy that this is where you're going. I'm gonna buy as many sets as I can afford!

 

[andy699669]

Only the Kings that are regular. Queens and Jacks are reversed.

 

[Ethan]

Option 2 looks niiiiicccceeee

 

[CraigT78]

Option 2 - what card stock?

Option 2 - what card stock?

I am not sure yet. Still researching my options.

As long as it's not the same stock as from the 2nd round of the kickstarter - I'm in. I really like the current "Casino" stock.

 

[FDLmold]

option 2!

 

[Kyle]

I like option 2. Would prefer the the blue and green be more bright like the red and black.

Something like bright kelly green and a brighter darker blue instead of baby smurf blue. My 2 cents

 

[aetepi]

Option 2 looks good to me. I bought Classic Victorians a couple months back and the card stock on those was excellent.

Definitely not going for the baby blue, but granted each monitor/device will interpret that turquoise differently.

 

[markleteenie]

Option 2 FTW.

IMO, blue is a classic 4 color, and the orange could be too similar to the red in certain/dim lighting.

Edit: Although I am very intrigued with the idea of the spades being purple. that could be pretty sweet. pr0n please.

 

[FDLmold]

Very excited for this project
<---------- Look

 

[Annorax]

I like this. Will there be a version available with the No-Peek blackjack markings? I'd totally rock 4-color plastic Desjgn on my blackjack table.

 

[Old State]

Option 1 because they look the least like a four color deck..

Glad you are going with bridge but I was hoping for the traditional colors...mostly because it would have a larger appeal with the general public outside the “enthusiast” type you find on a forum like this. I want you to sell tens of thousands of these so you can justify an entire lineup of card designs. I am obviously a big fan and heavily rooting for you.

PS: I definitely thought the blackjack index was coming.
