The Special Edition of The Tourists Playing Cards is a never-before-released edition of the Tourists playing cards. The tuck features a white paper with Mount Rushmore featured in the vignette on the front of the tuck. This edition is numbered 1/150. We only have numbers 51-150 available for this edition, 1-50 were set aside for the Legacy Edition. The cards are gilded a matte silver gilding.

Legacy Edition, $72.00 [SOLD OUT]

Image

We took 50 of the Rushmore Special Edition, numbers 1-50, and put them in a black walnut case. We engraved 'The Tourists' logo on the wood case. The Legacy Edition features the same tuck and gilding as the Special Edition.
This is listed as both "Tourists" and "The Tourist" on their site

I got a fez card as a thrown on an earlier order, I was impressed enough that I used the base deck as a $50 (free shipping) filler on an earlier order in this promotion

now I have two fez decks...oh well

Some of these legacies are ludicrous. X/24, with 15 in bundles, #1 kept for JR, one for a giveaway, leaving only 7 up for grabs.

I'm guessing there's a desire to increase value and create hype on the KWP front but maximizing artificial rarity, but I know I'd be upset if I really wanted one of these and wasn't able to acquire one.

Many years ago I was a KWP completionist. I backed his first campaign and went all-in on quite a few others after that. I still own almost 150 unique KWP decks and over 350 in total, but I haven't bought one directly in over 4 years and only picked up a few from Penguin Magic to round out orders in recent times. It became clearly impossible just to keep up with even the base decks, especially if you were international. Way too many times of missing out on special sales, even as a subscriber, and once the Internaltional collated shipping stopped it just was far too expensive.

FOMO left the building a long time ago for me. Variant after variant and reprint after reprint. I still think that Jackson can be an amazing designer and has done some incredible work. But it's no longer something I want to "chase".

He hyped up the 12 days a lot this year, but with only 4 days left, I'm pretty underwhelmed.

I can appreciate that, Im buying something about every other day it seems so its working on me.

its mostly releases of things we knew about (and yes sometimes pretty gimmicky). I think a lot of people want something they didn't know existed which ...might not have been realistic.

I mean, he did specifically say that he had new decks as part of it. And also that there'd be stuff that would blow our minds ( he mentioned that a few times in his weekly update videos). I'm not chuffed at all about it. It just means I'm not spending more money.

Still could be, we seem to be getting a lot of indications that there is at least a new VARIATION for overbite coming I think I put my over/under at 1 entirely new thing over that.

a lot of them haven't been available outside of subscriptions but there just weren't 12 entirely new decks no.

normal editions(red/blue/green), will be available, shouldn't be an issue
gilded versions outside black at least...we (subs) are going to buy any that exist, maybe the limiteds too
legacy versions, wont make it out of subscribers.

Black versions if you are in at 12 if I have to guess...you'll get what you want even gilded there will likely be several hundred of these and none went to existing subs like the other versions.
if you just want a standard black edition those shouldn't go out of stock possibly for years assuming they dont pull a curve here and only do limited editions of this.

subscribers only get 10minutes but people are DEFINITELY camping the page.

Yeah, so far the only thing I would buy is the black variant of Overbite, to have one from the series. Looks fun and unique enough to add to the collection.

Does anyone know if the standard version of The Fez is foiled? It would play a role in whether or not I'll buy that deck.

the regular fez has at least metallic inks if not foil on both the faces and backs.

I tried taking pictures but it just doesnt come through (vs a KWP Winburn)

Hmm, looks too shiny to be metallic inks. Might be cold foil.

Was the deck you photographed a standard one? I see it's not gilded but just want to be sure, as some KWP decks have had foil be on the limited version and not on the standard.

I have a single ungilded card (order throwin), I found that single card shiny enough to order the two decks above.

Fez is foiled for both the standard and gilded versions on both sides of the cards.
