Only 3 more days to go on Kickstarter! Four Clans is the third collaborative release by Doc’s Playing Card Co. & designer Brad Gabbard of Native Tongue Studio featuring Samurai and Japanese culture. On the theme and design of the deck, Brad told Kardify,
As always, our main goal is to produce stylized, interesting cards while maintaining the highest standards in feel and handling. For this deck we travel back to Feudal Japan. Years of brutal war between samurai clans have left the country in ruins. Only four clans remain, each fighting for control of the entirety of Japan for their leader, the shogun.
Fully custom, each clan is represented in the deck by a different suit. The custom pips are styled after each clan’s kamon, or crest.
Every part of this deck was created with careful attention to detail and, while the story and clans are fictitious, a great deal of effort was put into ensuring all other elements are portrayed as accurately as possible. Also included is an ad card that gives background information on each clan.
There are 4 editions on offer during the campaign, Standard Edition and a Limited Edition with premium foiled tuck box, and two gilded editions.
The decks are printed by the USPCC. Pledge starts at $13 on Kickstarter!
