Hey everyone!

Just a heads up, the Eminence cards are complete. The shipment from China will go out starting June 27th. It will take 3 to 4 weeks to get to my warehouse, We are still looking good for August Fulfillment. I am also waiting for the 2 deck box and the 6 deck box to be completed. They will be finishing by the end of this month and will be airing the shipment, which takes only about a week and a half to get to the warehouse.

Coming Soon! FORGED!

For my next project, I will be collaborating with Chris Hage from Wordercraft cards. Chris has become a good friend over the past couple years. He is also a very competent Playing card creator. I am very excited to partner with him on such a cool project. With over 25 successful Kickstarter campaigns between us and nearly 70 different playing card deck designs under our belt, get ready for Forged, coming to Kickstarter this Fall.

Production Update: Getting closer!
10 months ago – Sun, Jun 04, 2023 at 08:28:08 AM

Hi Everyone! Sorry for the delay in getting you an update.

Production Update

Production for the cards are about 2 weeks out from being finished. Once they finish the production, they will ship them by sea freight, which will be about another 4 weeks. I am hoping to see them sometime the first of August. 

The Signature box and the Collector's box is a little delayed. I am trying to make sure 6 decks fit into the custom designed box I created. It doesn't take long to get the packaging produced, so we should still be on time.

We are still on time to fulfill your rewards by the end of August.

Thanks everyone!

Jody
