I don't like the courts, I barely like the tuck. The backs while not bad looking don't really fit the theme of retro/modern space travel (i.e. I don't quite remember what year it was in which the United States opened up a wormhole for space travel).

Buuuuuut.... those numbered cards though.

Pips and index font really capture that era, and it also has these dashed lines at the bottom left which represent the values.
Not sure if it's trying to be like an SOS signal or markings on the Voyager Golden Record, but it's a cool look and concept.

I've never bought a deck just for the numbered cards before, but at $11 a deck shipped at early bird, I think I will for this one.

It's Morse code for the numbers

I personally really like the tuck, it fits the space theme and reminds me of Soviet posters of the era. I also like the back which I guess depicts a black hole/wormhole. The courts at first seemed nothing special but the more I look at them the more I like them and I also like the several small details and how the patterns of the traditional courts are incorporated into the modern design. Is that a SR-71 Blackbird on the ace of hearts? I am in for 2 decks. Good job!

I actually really like the style used to make the courts (similar to MISC GOODS) and also believe that it goes well with the theme. The number cards are fun and the morse code in the bottom left corners is really great, again fitting the era. I really hope this deck funds! :ugdance:

I like the number cards too. The back design doesn't bother me. At first the courts were a turn off but looking at all the details they grew on me. Add a foiled, embossed tuck and I'm in for one of each.
Move on, nothing to see here.
