No worries - still progressing

Hey everyone,
I apologize for the lack of updates! Life and work has gotten extremely busy for me again but I wanted to share with you that everything is still moving forward and have a couple quick notes…
- Most of the items are completed and in hand, including tuckboxes, tuckbox stickers, coins, bookmarks, and pins.
- Still waiting on the cards themselves. We had some delays with back and forth adjustments on the card artwork. Since the art on this deck is extremely detailed and complex, I’ve needed to review and edit many small details. It’s finalized now and in print queue. I will update as I have any additional information on timeline.
- The collector set boxes are still the biggest delay. I’m in process with a different manufacturer to test the updated box structure/sizing of insert. There was some delay due to tariffs as well but I think we’ve resolved that issue at this point.
Thank you again for your continued patience and I assure you that this project will be stunning once you receive it and can appreciate the final results.

Backerkit surveys coming soon...

Hello backers,
The Backerkit survey setup is complete and you should expect to receive an invite to complete your survey within the next week — keep an eye out for an email from Backerkit. From there you'll be able to confirm your shipping address and add any extra addon items you might like to include with your order.
Otherwise we're waiting on production for the decks and I'm working on the collector's set outer box — the manufacturer that produced the prototype seen in the photos/video has been unresponsive lately so while I'm still hoping to proceed with them, I'm also looking into alternative options to get that box made. I'll post any updates once I have more information.
Thanks again!

Happy New Year everyone!
I just wanted to share a quick update to let you know that some of the items that we're making progress. Below are a couple images of the bookmarks and coins that I've already received from production. As expected, the outer packaging for the collector's box set and the playing cards themselves are going to be the slowest in terms of production but I'll keep you updated if there's any news on that front.
Thanks again for your support of this campaign and patience as we wait for the production phase to be completed.

Bonus pack item details + $25k stretch reward

Happy holiday season to all of you! A couple details to share with you today...
Bonus pack details
Some people have been asking about what exactly comes in the bonus pack (included in the $20, $99, and $150 tiers)...
It will contain 3 items:
- 1 Display Deck
- 1 Sticker Sheet (4x6")
- 1 Special Promo Poker Chip
The promo poker chip (only available as part of the bonus pack) will be a similar design to the coin featuring the cake and bottle illustrations in full color:
$25,000 stretch goal
I realized we reached the $25k goal but I didn't announce the details of it during the campaign...the outer book box for the box set will now be upgraded to include a magnetic closure!
I'm now working with the various vendors to get everything into the production queue. The 2 items that will require the longest times for production are the actual deck of standard cards (USPC typically takes ~3 months after final artwork proofs are approved, probably longer given we're in the middle of holiday season currently) and the book boxes. I'll add more updates here as we head towards eventual fulfillment.
Thanks! -David

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you so much for your support of this project! More details to come soon but in the meantime, if anyone missed the deadline for the campaign, they can still submit a late pledge.
Thanks! -David
