Pride of Peacocks by Arcadia Playing Cards on KS

"Pride of Peacocks" with only 2 colors? Doesn't really fit the theme...

[Bradius]

It is a bit pricey with shipping, even as an early backer. I am in, for now.

[Adonael]

With that price, even at EB, and standard courts, as much as I do like everything else about it I'm going to have to pass.

Yea, something's missing though it looks great. More colors and a bright look?

[CupcakeBaron]

The back is nice enough but when I look at it I don't get peacock vibes.

[vasta41]

I really dig the back design and color theme, though I do agree with Neo that there should be more colors in a peacock deck. But I don't like when back and front borders don't match ESPECIALLY when the navy color is so bold. But $21, shipped for a Cartamundi deck? Nope.

[theCapraAegagrus]

The tuck is nice. The back design itself is nice but is a complete miss concerning color distribution. The faces are fine but also need more vibrant coloring. It doesn't fit the name.

[Räpylätassu]

I liked this. Pretty much everything about this. I love that back design. But damn it, can't back this with those court cards. With actual custom court cards, I'd get one in a heartbeat.

Edit: Message re-done

[Räpylätassu]

I contacted the designer and told him my thoughts about the deck (good deck with not-so-good courts). He told me that he is aware of the problem and is going to design new court cards if this campaign fails to fund and even if it funds, he will design a v2 with custom courts.

Seemed like a nice guy, invited him to join.

As for the lack of color, peacocks are not actually crazy colorful, it's a blue bird with a green-blue buttfan. And the "eyes" in the the back design really look like peacock feathers and the ace of spades really look like it has a peacock on it. I think this deck actually captures the theme quite well.

Fair enough, but you can't deny that the circled part of his own photo is quite a bit more colorful and visually impactful than the back design. The green and light blue hues you can see make up important parts of what evokes the peacock palette, and I can't really see any reason for omitting them.

Tom, maybe you're right, it could use maybe some emerald green or teal color in it. But still it's not completely off as it is.

Off? No. But incomplete? Yes. Female cardinals are brown but if I made a cardinal deck and colored it brown I'm sure it wouldn't *fly*

Just because Amy hasn't been around lately doesn't mean that you have to pick up the slack!

Not my fault she flew the coop.

Amy, you better come here and show this charlatan the power of a true pun master.

[theCapraAegagrus]

Amy, you better come here and show this charlatan the power of a true pun master.

Why are you trying to punish me?

She's not a pun "master", she just abuses bad puns. Kinda like dads with dad jokes.

[rousselle]

Hey, I resemble that comment.

And, we're not signing you up for punishment. We're signing you up for punnishment.

PipChick is... The Punnisher!

You're dangerously close to taking the Worst Mod award away from Vasta.

I actually find him to be quite pheasant to be honest, for an old coot that is ... lol

[rousselle]

You quack me up.

Back to the topic, Christian (the creator) said to me on Kickstarter that he is joining the forum. Y'all behave and pull up one more chair to this merry table.

[Räpylätassu]

Relaunched and redesigned. I like them, backed for one deck!

[PipChick]

it looks like nearly everything about this deck has been completely redesigned and vastly improved - congrats to the designer/creator

I especially appreciate the new back design:



and custom courts:











Also, unrelated, but I'm super glad that the relaunch of this project has resurrected such a fowl thread lmao

[Eric Lee]

Wow, the redesign is so much better than the original. Thanks for posting the redesigned courts. This time, the peacocks may actually take flight after all!

[theCapraAegagrus]

Wait a minute... This looks like a good deck of playing cards...

[vasta41]

MUUUUCH better.

[CupcakeBaron]

Wow this current iteration is absolutely gorgeous. Much more peacocky!
