Hey Everyone!

We are so excited to share this news with you all. After almost an year now.....YOGA Playing Cards are now ready to be on KS.

This is a very special project, especially because the strong foundation of this project was laid down here.....at UNITED CARDIST.

All the crucial design decisions were taken on the basis of the strong suggestions made by all the members of UC and you are the reason behind the amazing look of this project.

19th October 2017 is the day.....

Am sure you all with forward the same love and support to this project as you did during its initial stage.

19th October 2017......please remember the date.

Thanks
Manoj

Interesting back design but personally I prefer white borders on it.

I really like the back design, and its definitely a type of design that would look best as a full-bleed back. My only wish is that there could be a second color to accent the semi-circles in the corners and around the center design. Looking forward to this one, especially if its printed by the USPCC.

Back looks very nice. I never really cared about borders, it looks fine as is.

I tend to lean toward borders as well, in most cases.

This is not one of those cases.

Thanks once again for shaping up this project.

Here's another sneek peek of YOGA!

Great box right there, simple and clean. GJ

Q:Will it have a custom seal?

I like women but would it be wrong to say to get rid of the woman on the tuck? The background design is great enough to where it doesn't need a person in the front.

Wait..... It's her being colorful that's putting me off. If she was also red and white, blending in then it wouldn't be bad but I think no person is better.

I'm with you. I liked the cards, but I think the person on the box makes it look stupid and cheap. More like a novelty deck.

I have to agree, something about the watercolor look that just doesn't fit.

I understand your concern but the lady fakir in the front is an extension of the illustrations on the court cards and makes sense once you see the Courts.

Here are some images the Courts for visual delight :)

Well seeing the courts, good luck. Interesting to see how these will do.

:lol: :lol:

If the courts were wearing their normal garb/clothes doing the poses it would be good but something's funny and odd about naked, colorfully bodies.

I would seriously consider redoing this deck before you go live. The card backs are great. The rest is perhaps a bit less than great.

Not often I wish custom decks have standard courts. This is the case for this deck. It takes the theme a little too far. The court cards absolutely repulse me. Pass for me. I wish the creator luck, but I won't be participating.

I am fine with the courts as it is after all a Yoga deck, and sure would be different than any other deck I have. I could find it maybe funny if they were doing yoga dressed in their frilly outfits, but not as depicted :shock: . I think this is one of those times where my avatar fit my expression when seeing the court cards. It isn't for me, but I applaud doing something completely different, yeah way out there different.

It sure as heck is NOT for poker night. [MURRAY]

I can live with the courts on this deck. The only one that really gives me some pause is the Jack of Hearts. I'm also not so thrilled with EPCC as the printer, but at least the price is right. The strength of the back design and the custom pips (which will be my nomination for Best Pips in our DOTY contest) puts me in over the top and I definitely hope these fund.

Okay, well I relented and am backing it, if for no other reason than a really different style of deck for me. However, I am NOT tempted to take the wrapper off of this one and probably will not tell a soul what the deck looks like inside! :shock:

Come on Sin what's wrong with men doing the scissor legs hahahahahahaha sorry I just could not resist... I have to agree the pips are indeed nice but still pass for me. By the way feel free to use similar pips on future projects

Another "obstacle" is that it's in foreign currency.
