2019 Project (4 Viewers)

[Old State]

I am not sure yet. Still researching my options.

I don’t know if they are an option but....
Cartamundi uses some great card stock with their CCP and Ace cards. Similar to what you used with your Classic Culture. Also, I like their acetate which seem more warp resistant than Kem.

The printing on their cards is also very nice. Very crisp with deep and saturated colors.

 

[desjgn]

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.

Thank you as always and appreciate all of the support from everyone here! Blackjack index really only works right now on poker size as the index because the width gives me a better canvas with which to design. I use the graphics from the bridge regular index so that I avoid (1) shrinking the graphics to accommodate the index and (2) avoid having the graphics the same size as jumbo index graphics. On the bridge size card, I lose a quarter inch on the width which makes the blackjack index go to the edge of where the cards cut and I need to give a certain amount of space from the edge of the card to the index. I will post an image to explain this visually later in the day.

Blackjack index will come later, just in poker size. I thought that since I need to do more Victorians that I satisfy poker size fans, and with the poll results so far leaning towards 4-color that I give a bridge size option in jumbo index to also give something to the bridge size fans.

Does this mean we are getting a new run of the Victorians (Poker/Jumbo/2-colour) with new back colours? Or am I mistreating all this?!

Love the interaction!

4 color and poker peek indexes.

Honestly, your standard index is a pretty great size and larger and more visible across a table than any other standard index card.

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.

I am not sure about the no-peek version.

 

[longflop]

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.

I agree, the Casino card stock is just about perfect in my book. Universally loved in my game.

 

[allforcharity]

Option 2, please. The orange and red in Option 1 are too close.

 

[StackemHigh]

I agree, the Casino card stock is just about perfect in my book. Universally loved in my game.

I prefer the texture of the Casino stock (vs the smooth Baroque) but I wish it was slightly thicker/weightier, which for my taste, helps pitching when dealing. The Casino's are about the thinnest cards in my rotation.

 

[desjgn]

While I do not have a date for either of these releases, the Classic Victorians will come in red/blue backs.

jesus live color decks are just not great.

 

[EnjoyLife]

You make nice looking cards. I will be purchasing soon

The look isn't even the best part of these cards. You won't be disappointed!

 

[Taghkanic]

Any update on four-colors?

 

[Darson]

Yeah, just FYI I'm not buying any more cards from anyone until your four-colour/bridge/jumbo are available

 

[allforcharity]

I must have missed something. Are the 4-colour decks going to be poker-size Blackjack index?

Think he was just stating the new project in full detail.

Not to add confusion but I would think the bridge four color on blackjack index could be a unique combination.

 

[desjgn]

Ok somewhat of an update although just a clarification of just what projects are in the pipeline:

Classic Victorians (poker size/jumbo index) - Dragon/Kraken colors

4-color decks (bridge size/jumbo index) - back colors to be decided, but I think the Classic Circle back will be great. Picture below along with the purple version of spades (because it was requested to at least be seen).

I do not have an ETA, but need to start on the Victorians rather quickly. Part of the dilemma is searching for a different plastic/manufacturer although with the Victorians, I may end up going back to the original stock when they were first produced due to time.



In regards to the blackjack index, these will happen at some point, but the index is too large for bridge size with the regular index court faces. Meaning I basically have to shrink the art, which I already do with jumbo index. It fits/looks better with poker size.

 

[RocAFella1]

Aw man, I would definitely order those Classic Circle backs in bridge/standard/2-color.

 

[allforcharity]

I'm pretty sure I'll be in for 4 setups of the 4-colour decks. Gotta have something special to go with my (recently completed) CDI98 tourney set!

2 more days, good sir, 2 more days!

Could you just shrink the art less with the Blackjack?
Either way, a reprint of the bridge Classic Culture would be outstanding at some point. Like I said before, I feel your regular index is already very bold and slightly bigger than standard. FAR easier to read than any other standard index card.

Maybe just change the back design to the circle backs or another casino design.

Aw man, I would definitely order those Classic Circle backs in bridge/standard/2-color.

This and a corresponding poker size would appeal to a very wide audience. Burgundy and dark green (dark red and navy blue if you could get them printed correctly) backs...and boom.....I think you could sell a ton on Amazon and some poker or gaming supply websites!

Well these backs could be used with whichever face designs so I’ll remember your desired pairing.

The artwork would indeed look nice with larger court faces. But from a player's perspective, the legibility of the larger blackjack index would take priority even on the bridge sized cards IMO.
Bridge/blackjack index/4-color would easily be tops in my book!

Would also love the circle backs in a Bridge/Jumbo combo, just saying.....

Love the circle back design period.

I appreciate the suggestions. I just want consistency through product lines and having a smaller index or smaller artwork on the bridge size offering different from the poker size wouldn’t be ideal.

The purple is pretty good. I'd be down with that!
