I like it too, but as is not a $10 deck. There's a huge missed opportunity going with standard courts though.

I like it.

It's also just a wee bit pricey.

While I likely will order from Home Run Games again (likely through their store, rather than backing a KS project), at the moment, this isn't the project to pry my wallet open.

PS: +1 chach

Kinda lik'em .... That being said, I find them rather fitting and like their choice

An' dem Hippos're hip. Those hippopotamuses though. They did a great job with them and they're pretty fly, home skillet. Shiiiiiiiit

Maybe someone could try to do a English - Bruno - English dictionary? Never change Bruno :)

As for the cards, yeah they are nice but not my thing really.

Oh and Chach, you just won this forum.

I have to wonder why they would make a vintage styled deck instead of an actual vintage reprint. I'm sure if they did a reprint of an actual vintage deck it would be funding much better than it currently is.
