Playing Card Kickstarter campaigns

Since some of us like to read with playing cards here, I thought it might be nice to have one thread where we could post upcoming Kickstarter campaigns for interesting or beautiful playing cards decks.

Here are a couple I found the other day:

The Viola keeps playing my song...

i will probably be backing that one...The color is hard for me to resist...

Four Seasons has my attention!

Yep, that was the other one that kept flirting with me.

I don't really read with playing cards, but I do play a lot of card games, and I have a few decks I play with only because they are character decks from shows or other IPs I like. Such as Harry Potter and my Animal Crossing deck I got from Club Nintendo as a reward. I don't play with generic decks very often. So these look great! Definitely adding some to my kickstarter watch list!

Whenever I have the urge to play spider or pyramid or klondike I'd love cards that are as beautiful to look at as they are fun to play with. Which is probably why I substitute tarot cards for playing cards very often. X)

I like that BRut tarot deck! The Fireworks cards also.

I got a "Tattoo" Bicycle deck from Wal-Mart not long ago and I love the Queen of Spades -- it's a skeletal female wearing a bridal veil, holding flowers, and crying bloody tears.

I like so many of them! I've backed the BRuT deck, and will be getting one tarot, and one poker deck.

The Viola is such a fun color. The Nouveau, especially in teal, is pretty. The Artistic Spring feels fresh and crisp and modern. The Fireworks makes me chuckle and seems like it would be fun for games, too. I like the inventiveness of the Four Seasons and the redrawn suit symbols. And I like something about the colors of the Tsarovka from the Black Market campaign.

I can't back all of them, so I have to decide somehow which are most suited to me. *sigh*

Oh, I like the Nouveau too, both editions! But I wonder if that one will make it...

I'm rather partial to the Nouveau Teal and the Brut. I love Uusi's work and am awaiting their Pagan deck. I'll have to decide between one of these as I can't back both. Hmm...
