I give your fish pun a seven on a scale of one to ten.

Oooooffff

Down to the last 3 - don’t leave yourself asking where the fish have gone…

Potentially one left...

Holy mackerel, this thread is out of control.

Guys... I tuna if all the puns are necessary.

What, you don't find fish puns a luring? I, for one, am hooked!

No time to be koi right now. Let the puns roll! Sushi roll.

Y'all have spawned a school of thought I really don't agree with.

Wow! you are all reeling them off just for the halibut now arent you? Well, good news the bait is over, tomorrow the shipment arrives and tomorrow we will have an opper-tuna-ty to finally see the cards. Will they look good? I don't trout it for a second?
My courier asked if there was a safe plaice he could leave the parcel but I said no you batter give it directly to me in case salmon else takes it.

Wow, sounds like you've been fishing for so long that you're a masterbaiter.

I'll bow to a true master puntress.

The decks arrived safely. The foil backs are looking cool. So glad we got that stretch goal. The uncut sheets are shimmering.

When you showed the foil on your Instagram, I was ecstatic to see it in person as it is so fitting to what the deck was trying to achieve. Fantastic!

I'm about to open it and surprised at how realistic the shine and pull tab came out. I wasn't aware that the deck was scented too. Phenomenal.

You Legend!

The first batch of UK cards has been shipped to backers today and the rest are packaged and ready to be collected tomorrow. Here are a few photos of the final product. Thanks again to everyone who purchased a deck. I am excited to get these out to you.

It was a banner last few weeks for me with Kickstarter playing cards. First The Successor from The Gentleman Wake, then The Artist Playing Cards by Andrei Captan, and to end the week...Sardines Playing cards in the gloss edition tuck box. I'm glad I chose the glossy version. The colors really pop and it looks more like a real sardines can to me.

I agree. The gloss just works. I also love the feel of embossed gloss.

Got mine this morning. Wow, that foil on the back isn't skimped on. Don't think I've seen any decks use foil in that way and it really works well with theme and looks great when dribbling the cards. Super happy with the way they turned out. Good job, Stacey. Looking forward to your next project (any sneak peeks would be welcome).

Got this in the mail as well, and the results are spectacular.

Bravo Stacey, you are a real asset to the playing card industry, and have produced a beauty!

I got the pearlescent tuck and glossy tuck and must say, the glossy tuck ended up being the perfect choice for this deck.

I tried edge painting. It went well!

I do magic for my friend and I like the subtle one-way back. I can use the hot foil on the back for peek.
What I like best is the part where I say "pick your favorite card" and spread the sardines. It's so ridiculous.

My first time editing playing card tricks and Cardistry. With the help of my friend Joe Warrington who has been practising flourishes and magic, I managed to create a video that captured the decks shimmering foil in motion. Really had fun editing this video, I learned a lot and look forward to making more in the future. There are a few things I would do differently next time but overall I am happy with it. Joe's feedback was he wished he had smiled more

Thanks again to everyone who made this deck a reality, sorry it took me a while to make the demo video but I have been busy working on my next deck, which I will share with you all soon.
