Their other emblem (waterfall) has potential for a card back too

EDIT
I sometimes wonder about the typos that I see in articulate members' posts
Now I am wondering whether there is a gremlin in the system
There is no way that I typed 'offer' instead of 'other' above

This is an interesting collab! Me and my wife just went to Hocking Hills a few months ago, about as beautiful a place as you can find in the Midwest. I’ll be looking forward to seeing what they came up with.

I started to treat KWP like AoP in regards to expectations. I don't see cards so I expect standard courts with a logo back á la Table Players for now. This way only positive surprises can happen. 😃

Hopefully if it is on the tuck or cards Ohio is abbreviated correctly as "OH" and not "OI".

This deck was created in collaboration with the stunning paintings of Isaac LeFever of the beautiful Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. The deck features a dark green embossed tuck with both gold and orange foiling. The court cards feature paintings of various beautiful spots in Hocking Hills State Park during different seasons. The Hocking Hills Logo and badge design was created by Nick Johnson.

Aside from the tuck, doesn't interest me. I particularly don't like the text on the pip cards. Who needed that?

Tucks great but otherwise tourist pic courts and ugly backs (red and yellow never works for me)
Strange how that waterfall logo looks so good on the tucks but is a massive fail on the backs

This decks gives me Theory 11 vibes, anyone else?

Not that it’s a problem, just an observation.

Fully custom... yeah. Non court courts... nay.
