I agree about these courts. They are very tastefully done. Depending on what a person wants out of this deck, I think it fills many purposes. For me usability is what it comes down to most often. Then again I am somewhat of an eccentric and I pick up decks for odd reasons, the number one reason being I like playing cards. I like them a lot.Joker and the Thief wrote:Because people will then complain about standard courts.jerichoholic wrote:If costs are an issue why bother customizing any court cards then?
Yes, in this instance, Three Little Pigs' courts are in fact repeated, but they are tastefully done.
Best of luck to the guys at Pure Imagination Projects, wishing them success and all the best.
Back on the courts here though. I think we see thought going into these repeating courts that is often lacking. This can give a lot of people into a bias of repeating courts are bad, because of past experience with them as many decks have done repeating courts to a much lesser extent than these. Here we have color changes within the detailed field of the charming little piggies as well as the areas that were designed into the illustrations to specifically house suit indicators. The shields the pigs are holding seem minor and are easy to overlook but there is a stroke of brilliance there. As well as the cut out along the frame for the custom Pip. The frame itself is very well done too giving that little touch of extra distance between frame and indices makes the indices show up nice and bold. It all adds up to a very classy look.
There is a lot to like for me on this deck. I don't think that these repeating courts hold it back at all. Really good stuff here.
