Half Brick box is a scented Picnic Basket.

Half brick box smells like apples.

Smells like something else to me. Really don't get the appeal of these decks.

Oh, I get the appeal, they just don't ap-peel to me...

Nice lol. I like em cuz they're simple and affordable enough to use daily, and I like the fruit theme. I could do without the scented packaging aspect (the snackers smelled pretty bad, while the lemonade squeezers smelled like pine-sol) but I appreciate the extra bit of effort.

Oh my. I had no idea

I skipped both of those releases. I was pretty pissed about the plastic bags

Maybe it's just because of seeing the cardback oversized on my monitor, but it feels like the apples are too close to the top and bottom...

As someone working in the printing industry I can tell you, you can't even imagine how disgusting these paints smell during the printing process. I'm normally a guy that doesn't mind chemical smells like gasoline, or inks but these inks and UV-ink have something in them that almost always makes me wanna vomit. Maybe this is the reason why I never buy scented decks. I feel for the print machine operators .

I enjoy the Organic series. Follow the same theme, it's simple and affordable. I Will probably pick up two or three.
I'm also got much more interested in trying to get a complete set when I got the 4 Free Peeler v1's

Sweet 8-pound, 4-ounce, Baby Jesus.

These are got damn awful.

I could take or leave scented decks but I do always wish this came to fruition.

I also like this series for it's simple yet still interesting design. But it's the price point that always brings me back.

Just curious RWPPFFShuffle, how did you hear about this? I usually get RiffleShuffle emails but not this time...

They have been pretty active on Instagram for both RiffleShuffle and Organic Playing Cards.

Well that explains why I don't know- no social media for me!

The semi standard courts are pretty neat, custom enough to not be standard but aren't full customer either. I find the tuck design on these decks aren't for me and I am not usually a fan of the dual clipart on a rectangle for the backs.

I was also surprised that I didn't get any emails. They usually are like, "Limited private release 48 hours only!" etc. They haven't seemed to have thrown any extra hype on Instagram vs. their previous releases. Maybe they're testing channels to see if the response / sales are different without email...

Or maybe they've been releasing so many decks and sending so many emails that their open rates have plummeted and their domain is getting spammy

The inks on cards themselves aren't scented though, pretty sure it's just a perfume spritz in the half brick box. but I get your point about toxic chemical smells.

Yeah I'm not too active on social media either, just happened to check out their site and saw them up. That Bacon Lovers deck looks pretty fun, kinda wish the similarly themed Not-So-Kosher deck got funded too.

Got an email about them today. Still not interested
