Black Roses x Hanson Chien
Added 2020-09-11 21:12:14 +0000 UTCThe idea to print my very first Black Roses deck with all three most relevant playing card factories is stuck in my head for a while now. A few days ago I found out that I'm not the first one with this idea. In fact at least one person already did this with their own deck. But it's also a great idea.
Last year I printed 500 Black Roses decks with Cartamundi. So only the factory in Taiwan is missing now. I already worked with Hanson Chien in the past and I can only talk positive about his work. That's why I've chosen his company to reprint the Black Roses Playing Cards.
In my opinion, no playing card company can beat USPCC and also financially, it doesn't even make sense to print in Taiwan. It's really just for the sake of it.
The idea is to print 500 decks again. I'll only offer 350 decks on blackroses.cards and I'll keep the rest for myself which makes the deck really rare but as Patreon member you'll all get the chance to order them first.
Standard Taiwan decks only have 54 instead of 56 cards in the box. Since I'm a huge fan of gaff cards I'm thinking about removing the two Jokers for two gaffs.
Let me know what you think - would you pick it up? And which gaff cards would you like to see in the deck?
Much love
Daniel

Not in production yet. I still need to design the courts. I don't just want to copy and paste them. Something need to be a little bit different. :)

2020-09-12 23:09:51 +0000 UTCI’d pick up a couple. When would you post on your site? Or are they not in production yet?

2020-09-12 23:08:01 +0000 UTCDaniel, you do bring up a good point with the double facer drawing attention as one face up if it’s accidentally revealed in a spread, etc. I also like the idea somebody else had about a gaff Joker. A little reveal perhaps. I like the playing card in the bicycle spokes idea in the orbit V6? Or V7? I can’t remember and I’m not home to check lol.

2020-09-12 21:17:00 +0000 UTCI don’t have any experience with Hanson Chien cards, aside from knowing of them, but I’d still support the cause. Your design aesthetic speaks to me, so I’d snag them if they were printed on printer paper lol. I gotta say, I enjoy the jokers, just from a design standpoint. As far as gaff’s, for me personally, the only time I use a blank face, is if I am using standard bikes, since I have an entire deck worth of them in both red and blue. Double backer is pretty standard and you can’t go wrong with it, but I also like the idea of a double facer. I’m not too big on the 14 of ... To me, it’s just too obvious that it’s a gaff. I prefer gaff’s that fly under the radar if that makes sense. To each their own though! Whatever tickles the pickle, as my grandpa used to say lol.

2020-09-12 21:12:05 +0000 UTCI like jokers in general. I play some card games with my grandparents (too long ago, f#$ing covid) where jokers play a big role, so I have a soft spot for them. And now I'm going to make some space for some future Black Roses decks.

2020-09-12 19:33:10 +0000 UTCI will get a brick. For the gaffs, a few suggestions: - a King with one corner a diamond pip and the other a heart pip -A queen with one corner a diamond pip and the other a heart pip -a double facer: ace of spades and King of hearts and another ace of hearts and Queen is spades A King of hearts with the imprint of a coin on the back and another king of hearts with the imprint of a hole (the size of the coin) on the front A 14 of hearts A queen of hearts holding 4 aces as a reveal

2020-09-12 06:54:02 +0000 UTCYou're killing me with all these releases during covid lol. I would definitely buy one for the collection.

2020-09-12 01:03:56 +0000 UTCI would definitely order a couple.

2020-09-11 23:35:40 +0000 UTCThought the exact same thing but I don't know how it should look like 😃
Daniel Schneider
2020-09-11 22:33:03 +0000 UTCFor sure, I'm gonna need another wall display just for my other decks 😂

2020-09-11 22:21:44 +0000 UTCAny chance you can make a gaff Joker so as not to totally eliminate them ?
DAVID HERNANDEZ
2020-09-11 22:07:26 +0000 UTCYes will definitely get some if made available 👍🏽

2020-09-11 22:06:14 +0000 UTCI’d definitely be interested. Duplicates to me would be best because with just a single duplicate you can perform miracles.

2020-09-11 21:39:23 +0000 UTCFantastic idea. Taiwan printer is great! As much as I love jokers, duplicates are awesome, double face card, dual color double backer is fun as well like in Altrosa!
Jorge Anido
2020-09-11 21:37:05 +0000 UTCI will get some. For sure.

2020-09-11 21:27:11 +0000 UTCUnfortunately I can't remember. For me only the fact itself was important. 😅

2020-09-11 21:26:04 +0000 UTCWho is the other Playing Card Designer to do this?
Kevin Goosie
2020-09-11 21:23:33 +0000 UTCI would most definitely pick up the deck!! Maybe even six!!

2020-09-11 21:21:21 +0000 UTCI like the idea of double facers but it's difficult for me to add it to one of my decks. The fact that it always looks like a card is face up bothers me so much. :D
Daniel Schneider
2020-09-11 21:19:50 +0000 UTCMan you have too many good ideas for decks right now! 🙏 I'm always a fan of duplicates, but the Black Roses Jokers are among my favourites because of their look!

2020-09-11 21:19:09 +0000 UTCI can tell you as a collector i dont really care about the gaff because only500 then is no open policy but as a Magican I agree with brett and I really like the “gimmick themed gaff cards like the smoke, or good prediction or even a “blow up gaff for a switch

2020-09-11 21:14:51 +0000 UTCI’d like to see a double facer and something else. Most people do double backers but you rarely ever see a double facer and they are so useful. But I’d def grab some either way.
Brett Mead
2020-09-11 21:14:25 +0000 UTCYes. Yes i would pick two up at least
