Often times when a Kickstarter project is funded the only people to get their hands on the completed reward are those that pledged. However, Deco Playing Cards, an historically inspired playing card company, has other plans. Deco recently launched a web store that now gives non-backers (and backers who want more) of their recently funded Kickstarter project, “Sultana”, a chance to buy the deck. If you did not get a chance to pledge when this project was live or you found out about the project after it was funded or you simply want more – this is the news you have been waiting for. Although the store is live, the project was just funded a few weeks ago so they are only taking pre-orders right now with plans to ship the decks in July.
If this is the first you time you are hearing about the Sultana project here are the details from their Deco’s Sultana Kickstarter page:
Beautiful, playable, hand-drawn art printed by USPCC and inspired by one of the earliest known decks, which came from Cairo, Egypt!
Sultana is the first in a trilogy that will follow the evolution of playing cards from their Moorish roots to their modern manifestations!
The deck art is 100% hand-drawn in pencil before digitally colored! The cards are printed on Bicycle® stock with an air-cushion finish.
The artist of our deck is Dave Boyd, and the designer of our custom tuck box is Katy Orr. (The Joker designer is Brian Kloetzel.)
Here is the design of the Sultana tuck case:
