over 6 years ago – Tue, Nov 12, 2019 at 06:49:07 PM

Hey Everyone,

I’m happy to announce my next Kickstarter project. This one is a little campaign for a couple new Euchre Decks - INDIANA Euchre and EUCHRE V3!

Euchre doesn’t use any 2 through 8 Cards, so there’s two complete Euchre Decks in each Tuck, Plus 4 custom Score Cards and 2 Rules Cards.

24 Hour EARLY BIRDS for the already great prices will end tomorrow at Noon EDT!

Please check them out at:

Quick Update
over 6 years ago – Mon, Oct 14, 2019 at 02:17:45 AM

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick update to say that fulfillment finished up about 10 days ago!

Three Backers supplied their shipping addresses after fulfillment was underway (too late to add to the fulfillment list). The leftover Decks are scheduled to arrive at my house on Monday! I’ll personally ship out those three orders a day or two later.

LIMITED COLLECTORS SET DETAILS:

There’s two key points that separate the Limited Collectors Gilded Set from the standard Decks. (1) the 2-Deck Collectors Box ONLY comes with the Gilded Decks and (2) the Gilded Decks are signified by a RED Tear Strip, and they ONLY come with the 2-Deck Collectors Box.

My plan, since the beginning of this project, was for the 2-Deck Collectors Box to serve as the special “seal sticker” that usually differentiates Gilded Decks vs. Standard Decks. I’m not always a fan of stickers or seal stickers, and I felt that they wouldn’t have made sense with this design. Plus the 2-Deck Box is soooo much cooler looking than any sticker!

Also, I only produce the  number of Gilded Sets needed for Kickstarter Backers (plus a few for myself). There are only 200 WILD WEST Limited Collectors Sets in existence!

If you somehow do receive a Limited Collectors Set WITHOUT Red Tear Strip Deck(s), please send me a PM. I will send you a correct replacement Deck(s).

Thanks, Randy

Fulfillment has started!

Hey Everyone,

Quick status update. Gambler’s,has finally started fulfillment for the Wild West a Decks yesterday!! Some of you should already have your package on the way. The rest will ship out this coming week! You should get a Tracking e-mail from Gambler’s, but sometimes they ship them without the accompanying e-mail.

Please let me know what you think of them. I love how they turned out!!

I also want to give a shoutout to one of our Backers - Ty Sanford! I met Ty during the summer of 2018, when my family and I spent a week in Deadwood and the Black Hills (one of our best trips ever!). Ty is a part of Deadwood’s Live Shows that they do on Deadwood’s historic Main Street (Deadwoodalive.com). If you’re ever in the Black Hills area, be sure to checkout the Deadwood Alive actors and actresses, especially the amazing “Trial of Jack McCall”!!

Thanks, Randy

Shipping soon!

Hey Everyone,

I hope you all had a good Labor Day weekend!

Update on progress. Gambler’s Warehouse received the Wild West Decks last Monday, August 26th. They have a couple Fulfillment projects ahead of us (out of my control), so I gave the go ahead to wait until they’re finished with the Gilding work on the Wild West Decks. I usually ask them to ship the orders without Gilded items first, and then Gilded orders as soon as they’re ready. But since we’re ahead of schedule, and behind a couple other Fulfillment projects anyways, it made sense to make it easier on Gambler’s and have them ship all orders once Gilding is finished. The Gilding takes them around 2 weeks, and they’ve been working on it since last Tuesday. So they should be finished up around the end of this week, or early next week.

Each Backer should receive and e-mail from Gambler’s, nice your package is on it’s way!

The Decks turned out beautifully, and I can’t wait to see what you all think of them!!

Below are some photos I took of the sample finished Decks I received.

Thanks, Randy

Wild West Fulfilling soon, plus new Parisian Deck
over 6 years ago – Sat, Aug 17, 2019 at 07:08:30 PM

Hey Everyone,

Great news! The Wild West, Euchre and Draconian Wildfire Decks should all arrive at Gambler’s Warehouse around the end of this week!! That means fulfillment should start in two weeks. There’s a good chance that some U.S. Backers will be receiving their orders before September hits!!

Legends sent me 1 of each Deck. They all turned it beautifully!! I’m still working on shooting Product Shots for the Wild West Decks. I’ll post another Update next week, once I get the photos all finished.

I’m also proud to announce that my next self-funded Deck is AVAILABLE NOW at MidnightCards.com (not a preorder)!

The Parisian Deck is inspired by the architecture of the Eiffel Tower, intricately designed, timeless and holds a powerful secret.
