FUNDING SUCCESSFUL! BIG update.
over 5 years ago – Sat, Oct 03, 2020 at 03:47:35 PM

THANK YOU!

We did it! Over 750% funded. Wow.

But the work for us is just starting.


What’s Next

 1. Collecting pledges and what to do if collection fails 

Over the past 24 hours Kickstarter will have charged your credit card and collected your pledge.

It’s possible that your credit card provider may decline payment. This can happen because of an old or expired credit card, insufficient funds, or safety measures that may require you contacting your card provider before payment can be completed. If this happens, Kickstarter will send an automatic email alerting you.

If you pledge has not been processed yet, you can return to your kickstarter account and update your credit card information.

For further help Kickstarter provides this FAQ. If you have any questions about this, you can always email [email protected] We can accept PayPal too!


. . . . .


2. Voting for Chapter II

We are currently preparing voting engine for Chapter II cards. When ready, all backers who pledged for 2 decks or more will receive a private link to vote for their favourite cards from all 244 entries (299 total minus 55 that formed Chapter I). Cards that will get the most votes will form the Chapter II deck.

We have not sent any links yet, so don’t worry if you haven’t received anything yet. We will post another private update for you here on Kickstarter when we start this process.


. . . . .


 3. Surveys and Pledge Manager

In a few weeks, we will start sending out email invitations to our pledge management portal where we will be collecting your shipping address and you will be given the opportunity to select exactly which items and in which combinations you would like to receive with your pledged money. Missed updates/want to upgrade your pledge/add more decks? You will be able to add extra money if you would like to get any additional Playing Arts products (Decks, Uncut Sheets, Cases etc.) in your package.

We have not sent any invites yet, so don’t worry if you haven’t received anything yet. We will post another update here on Kickstarter when we start this process.

(We’ll also be sending another confirmation email right before we ship your rewards where you’ll be able to update your shipping address in case you moved.)

Introducing Chapter II + Free Bonuses
over 5 years ago – Mon, Sep 28, 2020 at 09:00:49 AM

In the last updates we've teased an upcoming big thing that is going to be released for this project. 

Today is The Day

As you know, for the Future Art Challenge we've received whopping 299 entries. Just browse them all and you will see that the level of artists and their submissions is very high and there are a lot of gems that deserve to be included in the printed deck. It's obvious: we need to release not one, but TWO Future Edition Decks

YES, the rumours are true! Today, we are extraordinarily proud to introduce the new Future Edition CHAPTER II deck. And we invite YOU to take part in building it. How? Read below!

Introducing Playing Arts Future Chapter II

How it works & deck features

  •  We want to make this deck very exclusive. So Chapter II will be only available for backers that pledge for Two decks (€28 tier) or more during this campaign. If you are on a single deck tier, you will get Chapter I.
  •  Backers that pledge for Two decks (€28 tier) or more will form the jury team and vote for their favourite cards from all 244 entries (299 total minus 55 that formed Chapter I). Cards that will get the most votes will form the Chapter II deck. So YOU, backers, will decide which cards will be included! Voting starts in October, shortly after the end of this Kickstarter campaign.
  •  Chapter II will have the same Backside as Chapter I. That means you will be able to mix and match the cards between these two Future decks in any manner and stay in the game. And even between Special Edition, if you are lucky to own one (now permanently sold out).
  • After the end of this Kickstarter campaign, Chapter II deck will be only available as a part of Future Bundle (Chapter I + Chapter II) and will not be sold separately.
  •  Only 2,500 of Chapter II decks will be printed. When sold out - sold out forever. This is expected to become a high value collectible deck, same as the Special Edition that was released 4 years ago and is currently offered on Ebay for $100-$150 PER DECK!

Now is the fun part

The project went viral. From The Awesomer to The Gadget Flow, Future Edition was featured in dozens of blogs and magazines around the world. Support that we receive is overwhelming. Since we've smashed our funding goal in the very first hour and already over 550% funded, we are going ALL IN! 

To appreciate your support not just with words and letters, we've decided to give away some extra decks FOR FREE! Yep.

  • Backers that pledge for 4 x Decks (€48 tier) will receive ONE extra Future Deck for free! (5 total)
  • Backers that pledge for 6 x Decks (€66 tier) will receive TWO extra Future Decks for free! (8 total)
  • Backers that pledge for 12 x Decks (€120 tier) will receive FOUR extra Future Decks for free! (16 total)

Crazy? Yes! Excited? We too! Click HERE to manage your pledge!

At the end of this campaign you will receive a survey link to pledge manager where you will be able to enter your shipping address and choose which exactly decks and in which combinations you want to get.
