The Tzolk'in Mayan Themed Playing Card Deck

Unread post by NCarter »

Hi guys and gals,

I am considering launching a new playing card deck on a kick-starter campaign at some point next week and I was looking for some feedback from you.

Of course all designs are subject to change until the project is officially launched next week but please do let me know what you think so far.

I really like the courts! However, the color scheme of the fronts and backs/tuck seem at odds.
Also, the back design seems a little too simple. Based on the courts, I would expect to see a much more complex design.

Thanks for you input.

I think I might jazz up the backs of the cards, maybe even add some colour to them.

I am also wondering about the pips, I think I might adjust them to something more "mayan"...

Custom pips are always a plus for me! :D

NCarter - Put you indices a bit closer together. Usually, we are bitching the opposite. Card designers like to cram them too close together. Welcome to the Forums. I see you have borders for your courts and none for your pips. That is pretty standard...

A Big thank you to everyone who backed this project the first time around but I am now very happy to announce its re-launch here on kickstarter!

This one is really for all my fans who backed this project the first time around and some of the encouraging support I received after the campaign ended. After reviewing the funding and some of the costs I am now able to pass on the savings to my backers.

This campaign will run for only 20 days and I plan to get them printed and shipped out as soon as I am able. The live project can be viewed here;
