STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKING!

Since we are so close to the 400% stretch goal, we're going to go ahead and unlock The Beetle Backs Prism Limited Edition a bit ahead of time to make sure we don't run into conflict with the Thanksgiving Holiday! The Prism Limited Edition unlocks at 12pm NOON Eastern, on this Wednesday (11/22/23).

Limited to 500, The Beetle Backs Prism Edition continues the tradition of the fabled luxury Holofoil decks of the TGW line. The Prism has a distinct tuck case, featuring Silver Holo, Purple, and Black Holo foil embossed layers, printed on the highest quality premium matte purple cardstock. The cards within are prismatic gilded and include the unique Dynastinae back design adorned in beautiful silver holo foil, contrasting with vibrant purples and deep black. To add on, please visit the The Beetle Backs campaign homepage and select manage my pledge from the top right corner. Once prompted, re-select your current reward tier and you will be advanced to the add-on selection page where you can select whichever add-ons you desire to add!

NOTE: Due to the high demand for the Prism decks 150 units will be made available strictly as an add-on, with the remaining 350 limited to the Completionist and Prototype tiers. If you are a Completionist or Prototype backer NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING as the Prism is automatically added to your pledge UNLESS you want to add a second deck to your order!

Uncut Tuck Cases added to Add-ons!

Due to popular demand we are adding The Beetle Backs uncut tuck cases options for Add-on. Perfect for framing or collecting, these uncut sheets are a beautiful representation of the tuck boxes seen on the campaign. We currently have options for adding Crimson Standard, Cobalt Standard, Prestige Limited, Dynastinae Limited, Prism Limited uncut sheets and Signed uncut sheets with randomly assigned tuck/foil combinations. To add on, please visit the The Beetle Backs campaign homepage and select manage my pledge from the top right corner. Once prompted, re-select your current reward tier and you will be advanced to the add-on selection page where you can select whichever add-ons you desire to add!

The Beetle Back Coins Pictures!

Photographer Chris Moyer recently submitted some gorgeous photographs of The Beetle Backs Coin. Perfect for magic, collecting or as a card guard, The Beetle Backs Coin measures 1.5 inches in diameter and features gorgeous 3D sculpting and reeded edges. Cast in zinc alloy and finished in antique gold tone, the coin can be selected as an add-on now!

The Beetle Backs chosen as a Kickstarter 'Project We Love!'

Despite our great Kickstarter track record, The Gentleman Wake brand has never had a campaign earn the status of 'Project We Love' and we're very proud to be chosen. We're very thankful to all the amazing feedback support we've received from backers so far!

Thanks again and hope to see you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Best,

TGW

And we're off! A fantastic opening 24 hours!

We are funded!

Thanks to all of you amazing backers, The Beetle Backs Playing Cards is a success! We reached our funding goal in only 5 minutes. And have already reached over 300% funding!

Stretch Goals Unlocked!

With the funding eclipsing the 300% mark we've unlocked a bevy of improvements to the Beetle Backs editions. For one thing the gorgeous inner tuck foil pattern, designed by Widakk, will now be included on all editions!

Additionally, we've unlocked custom numbered seals to be placed on the bottom of the Prestige and Dynastinae Editions!

We've also unlocked Pantone Metallic inks for the faces and backs of both standard editions. That means that, everywhere below on the back design, where you see yellow ink it will be replaced with a true metallic gold tone ink.

Finally, we're excited to announce the unlock of our fantastic custom Beetle Backs Brick Box designed by Widakk. It will now be included with EVERY mixed brick of Beetle Backs cards. In fact if you want to add a Brick Box (including the mixed deck assortment within of 4 Crimson, 4 Cobalt and 4 Prestige decks) you can do so now in the Add-on section of the pledge management page. Simply click on the Manage My Pledge button on the top right of campaign homepage and re-select your reward tier. After that you will be prompted to add-on additional items!

Much more to come!

Please be sure to spread word of the campaign on your social media so we can continue to grow awareness of the project and hopefully increase funding which will unlock more exciting stretch goals. Feel free to use this LINK HERE to promote the campaign!
