Aces with toppings list...masterful!

This deck is looking very nice!

thank you

Love the cards so far, can't wait to see the tuck!

@Conturbia: These are fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I also love, how the custom courts face the "correct" way, keeping us traditionalists happy and making them playable.

For a critique, I think the reds for the indices and pips could be a little darker, like the red colour you have for the pizza heart, and the greens a little darker. While I'd like to see black spades/clubs, green will work, but again, darker might be a tad better. And the back design, nailed it. Could you even push the design to the edges more?

The only thing left are a pizza box tuck, a super fat pizza eating joker stuffing his face with pizza and lots of empty pizza boxes in the background and a naked female joker with pizzas covering the sensual spots!

Reasonably priced with a decent printer, I'm all over these for multiple decks. Well done so far. Again, these are fantastic.

I second this!

Excited for these ones!

Thank you very much! As for the joker we will probably play with Italian stereotypes, but we are still thinking... the printer will be 99% USPCC, the back design is inspired by the rider back.

We reworked the QoH to make her more "Italian"

The Diamonds will be the americans, because even if pizza is an Italian thing, it's so loved and known in USA, that we just had to include them in the deck

This is a preview of the KoD "fresh from the oven"

As an American we do have excellent pizza places, and crappy chain stores too, but we're not all that fat or use jarred sauce on pizza.

But if it's based on the average American...

Needs an automatic rifle in that case

no no! Actually the queen is the hottest queen ever

Hey Riccardo,

I love it! It's great to see a quirky design so well thought out and executed.

The courts are sweet! Great style and perfect use of color. Have you played with making the Back Card multi-color? The 1-Color pizzas on the Back look a little plain when compared to the full color pizzas on the Aces (which I think are clever as hell - Pizza shaped PIPS!).

I have no idea what you're doing with the Tucks, but remember, UV Spot Ink is a great tool for a fun design (one where Foils don't make sense). UV could be used effectively to highlight some Tuck elelements like grease spots, ingredients, pizza box logos, pizzeria menu logos.....

I look forward to seeing what you guys do with the Tucks!

Thanks, Randy

very good inputs Randy, thank you!!

Other cards!

There's no way with that waistline that the QoD eats pepperoni pizza on the reg. but I love it nonetheless! Kind of looks like Gwen Stefani...

ahhahahaha

Now that's a USA Queen Riccardo!

Awesome work on the cards! I hope the tuck will be just as great

The topping is still mysterious...

Interesting. With the green club, that looks like a shamrock ! I was expecting my family (Irish - who like pizza too). Anyway, looking good. Put lots of toppings (no pineapple or anchovies please).

I had a pizza with anchovies once. If they put 1 per slice it would be okay. It's saltier than pure sodium.

Diiiiiiiiid somebody say "anchovy"? *smacks lips* Pineapple can GTFOH

Think I just need to make a visit to the home of world's best pizza tonight which is just across the road from my home.
