Medieval Playing Cards by Elephant Playing Cards

Medieval Playing Cards are intricate hand-drawn cards in the style of the first original playing card decks. Inspired by fearless knights, severe lords, and gorgeous queens, Medieval is designed to transport you back in time with a contemporary twist! Made in the old style of the first playing card decks from the card stock to the construction of the tuck box, Medieval will be a beautiful addition to any games night. These new decks have been created to show the beauty of the Medieval Age and have been inspired by the great artist – Diego Velásquez. Through this deck, they want you to feel this epoch and experience its elegance and grandeur. The team currently presents two types of decks: the Silver Unlimited Edition, and the Gold Limited Edition for those who want to stand out. The cards have a thicker Robusto card stock for a genuine medieval feel with a red wax-styled seal. Once the seal is broken, and the deck opened, the flap will fold back inside the tuck box just like a normal deck. It is the same size and will function the same as a regular deck after opening.

I am not sure why only one was bubblewrapped.
Great packaging though.
And the cards look great.

Anyone who has received their deck, can you remember who it was labelled from? My mailhouse has a package from 'Shimon', but can't onforward it until I do a customs declaration stating what it is... Is it this?

@Ben I got the email with the tracking number from the USA this morning:) Looking forward to receiving them in the next couple of days.

@Daniel- You should have received an email a while ago from backerkit to fill out. As it looks now, the survey is locked down. You should PM the creator.

Daniel Marlow

Review from Kickstarter

How do I complete the survey for my shipping information? This is my first backing.

Elephant Playing Cards

Review from Kickstarter

@Gina, Yes, they are at the warehouse, I have paid the shipping fee and I believe they are currently being sent out :)

Gina Dunlap

Review from Kickstarter

@Ben did the cards arrive in your warehouse as expected? Crossing my fingers :)

Review from Kickstarter

Oh no, I completely forgot! Now I've spent all this money on two of the same deck since the limited wasn't unlocked. I can't say I'm happy, but it is my fault, should have put it in my calendar app. I'll still love it, just wish we had the limited as well, it's so much more interesting.

These are beautiful. Simply beautiful.

I greatly appreciate the upgrade of the box you are giving us! Thanks!

Jan Schattling

Review from Kickstarter

It's a shame that we didn't make the limited edition but to be honest if I had timed it better, I also would have backed out.
It is a nice design but without the limited style it just isn't worth it.
Well, maybe I can get rid of it somehow.

Gina Dunlap

Review from Kickstarter

I hate to say it, but with the surge of pledges, if so many hadn't backed out, it my have been met. It went down about 3 K and back up to past 17 K.

Scobie Parker

Review from Kickstarter

Looking forward to receiving my uncut sheet, it's a very nice design. It's a shame to not make the unlimited edition, perhaps they could be another add on?
Also I notice the total pledge *Dropping*!?

Elephant Playing Cards

Review from Kickstarter

@Jonathan and Greg: At this point there is no plan to launch a second campaign to get the limited deck funded. However, that's not ruling anything out in the future :)

Greg "Scorpio" Myers

Review from Kickstarter

I also hope that you can run another campaign for the Limited deck, it's too beautiful not to get made.

Jonathan McDonnell

Review from Kickstarter

@Creator I was just wondering has any thought been given to running a second campaign later on this year to print the Gold edition of the deck on its own? I'd love to see these printed in full colour! Given the success of this project (almost $5,000 over the goal) it would surprise me if a second project wasn't to meet it's goal - even if its funding goal has to be higher. Its something I've noticed other project creators having a lot of success with, even in cases where the deck is a 'special edition' at a higher cost per deck than the original campaign.

I'm in and up for unlocking the limited edition but ... ... still left 35hrs to go, I guess need a miracle to do it!!!!

Elephant Playing Cards

Review from Kickstarter

@Desmond, we are only $3k off, and projects usually get a nice boost around the 48 hours mark with the reminder email. We can still make it!

Greg "Scorpio" Myers

Review from Kickstarter

Man guys we've got to somehow get the limited edition funded.

desmond wong

Review from Kickstarter

Don't see the limited edition any chance of unlocking at all, really losing steam here, 5 days n only little more than $1k came in.

Elephant Playing Cards

Review from Kickstarter

@Desmond - we are about to go for another push, hopefully can get it over the top :)

desmond wong

Review from Kickstarter

Hey guys, we r losing momentum to unlock the limited edition :(....push it , push harder.

Elephant Playing Cards

Review from Kickstarter

Woo Hoo!

Greg "Scorpio" Myers

Review from Kickstarter

Congrats on getting funded! Now let's get that limited deck unlocked!

Elephant Playing Cards

Review from Kickstarter

@Andrew - it is awesome detail, right? Really great work by Egor!
@HeartsandNines - Looking forward to it :)

HeartsandNines

Review from Kickstarter

Looking good guys! ....will message you closer to time with regards to sipping of 3 x uncuts to UK :) We need that Limited edition!!!

Andrew Candy

Review from Kickstarter

Love the detail! I'm in for 4 decks, here's hoping the limited and the foil gets unlocked! :D

Elephant Playing Cards

Review from Kickstarter

@TenChiGin - to add multiple Uncuts, just send me a message and I'll check how much you will need to add - it will be cheaper. And yes, the Limited edition uncuts will be available if it gets unlocked
@Griffin - thanks! The Jokers are a knight and a griffin - classic Medieval imagery!
@VJ - the tiers are there so that the limited edition remains limited. You can pledge for as many decks as you want with those tiers which will be standard edition, but if the limited gets unlocked it will split into half limited half unlimited. It's a convenient way to offer limited rewards without adding a bunch new tiers when it unlocks.. @Everyone - thanks so much! We're off to a strong start :)

Review from Kickstarter

I'm confused as to why there are tiers for the limited deck when it isn't even available yet?

Griffin L. Kessler

Review from Kickstarter

I'm in and up for unlocking the LTD ED. Say what is that image on your Joker? AS well as throughout the Card back?

Greg "Scorpio" Myers

Review from Kickstarter

I'm in! Let's get that limited deck unlocked!

Jyl Darlow

Review from Kickstarter

On board!! Good luck guys :)

TenChiGin

Review from Kickstarter

Hi there @EPC.
How do I add multiple uncut sheets? Assuming that the International shipping and packaging cost for two will be covered in the first, can I add $67 + $47, for two?
Also, will uncut sheets be available for the Gold deck if it is unlocked (in which case I may want 2 x Silver and 1 x gold sheet)?
Ta. :-)

Review from Kickstarter

Good luck and lets unlock Limited deck!
