High-quality themed playing cards with "beautiful art" and "nice big numbers" that customers praised for great feel and appearance. However, multiple shoppers expressed disappointment that face cards feature only the Briarwoods, Cassandra, and Ripley rather than varied characters across suits, with some feeling this limited creativity doesn't justify the price point.
The cards are great but there is a slight dent on the box and it might be from the shipping company but over wise everything is great
Nice big numbers and good feel.
My son was very happy with them, so I am very happy!
Was very appreciative.
Disappointed it's just the Briarwoods, Cassandra and Ripley. The quality is otherwise good!
The cards look amazing. I love Critical role
They are good quality and I love the art on them. I was really hoping for more art on the other cards but over all they are great!
beautiful art, good quality cards
I wish the deck had more characters for the different suits' face cards. I do like the quality and the design.
The cards look great and feel amazing
Love it so much
A decent set of cards made with standard quality. The artwork on the faces is nice, though based on the description of the item, I had mistakenly assumed that each of the suites faces would have different characters. It was quite underwhelming to find that the only characters from Vox Machina were those pictured above. Considering that a significant number of equally (and in many cases, exceedingly) nice playing card sets are available on Amazon and elsewhere for half the price, I sincerely expected to see more custom faces with much more beloved characters, like the main characters, just for an example.
The description does indicate that these were an item surplus from their kickstarter campaign, so in that context, I can see how these would be acceptable. But to charge $25 USD plus shipping for this particular product, as a fan and customer, this one stings...
This one is a definite misstep which is honestly surprising, as my experience with Critical Role's shop is that items are typically highly curated with attention focused on the details for their fans.
My son loves them.
The cards are beautiful, and well-made, and the suits and numbers are stylized gorgeously. The letdown is that all of the face cards have the same 3 characters on them (and then a 4th character on the joker cards). The Aces also feature special art, but it's the same on all suits. Beyond that, with the high bar that Critical Role has set with their art and designs on their merchandise, these felt a bit quickly done. There were some missed opportunities here on design options to really make the art on the cards stand out and to do different unique characters for every suit. Plus the back of the cards features just a standard pattern, nothing to make it stand out, not even the name of the show. Don't get me wrong, they're still great cards, feel great, and will work well! I just think there were some art opportunities here, specifically in their design and art, that were missed to get a 5-star rating.
The cards are good quality, the backing is a simple but wonderful-to-look-at pattern, and the animation on the cards is detailed but not flashy. It would have been nice for the different suits to have different people, as is usually the case with themed cards (and is the case with standard cards) and I was eager to see what other characters made it into the deck, so that was a bit of a let down. But still excited to play with them :)
It was what I expected
Gift, so not opened yet.
Little disappointed that there is only the Briarwoods as face cards.
I wish that the King, Queen, Jack, and Ace varied between suits. Every suit has the same set of characters. With such a rich cast of characters, what a waste of creativity. Had I known about this, I would likely not have purchased.
These are high quality cards. Nice and flexible but don’t hold a curve. I laughed out loud at who was on the face cards.
Loved the quality of the cards! A bit bummed they were just the Briarwoods, but maybe I just missed something in the description. Still love them!
