Hey guys! Artist here - glad you like the project and allow me to clear up some thoughts on the printer and goal. I hope this is okay to talk about. My budget is carefully planned out, and going with MPC my costs are: $1000 for kickstarter fees $3750 for printing cards and brick boxes + shipping $27...

Hey Valerio, welcome! Minimalist design can be very tricky. There is always a line where it can be TOO minimal. Personally, I find the cards with the layout lines considerably more attractive than final design. I like the cards Eoghann put up as well (presumably your video, I haven't watched it yet...

I wanted to thank you all again for the feedback and the support - we are definitely taking it all to heart and are going to be coming up with new designs for the BACK of the card which don't have any text. We are going to develop three or four designs and then let the backers vote - I am going to ...

Less than a day and already almost halfway there - that's fantastic! I'm in for two and I wish I could get an uncut sheet, but I have no room in my house, almost literally (and it's going to get even worse once my own kickstarter ends and I have 500+ decks filtering through!)

Hey guys! I'm the artist for the deck and the creator of the kickstarter.
