And that's $100,000 unlocked! You guys rock! We'll probably reach the Personalized Coin level, but do you guys have any thoughts or suggestions for anything beyond that level if the campaign goes wild in the next few weeks?

Project Update: Metal Connectors

One of the things we're excited to offer as an Add-On are the Metal Connectors, intended for people doing spreads and wanting to add a little extra flair for picture-taking or client-impressing wow factor. The Connectors are cast metal and given the same kind of finishing treatment as the coins, so they'll perfectly match your set, or get a different color for contrast! Geometrically pleasing and made to nestle your coins nicely in, the Connectors help keep things organized when doing your readings and spreads.  


There are also 2-coin and 4-coin connectors, still in progress.


Full Bundles or people who have them selected as Add-Ons will be given the choice of finish when selecting their coin set choice in the Pledge Manager phase. 

More treasure for your set!

Do you want the same image on the front as the one the back? The same image reversed? Or a universal border image for the back on all of them, designed so that you can't tell on one side what design the coin is?

Project Update: Update #4 - Nuance Tokens!

Now that you've unlocked Nuance Connectors at the 85,000 Stretch Goal level, let's talk about what they are (or what they will be). These are an idea we're still refining and workshopping, so artwork is as yet unfinished, but they are smaller tokens meant to serve as accent marks to the coin draws you're making. Some are meant to signal particular strength or emphasis between your draws, while others might downplay the connection between them. Nuance tokens can add depth or reframe the relationship between the traditional suit dynamics, or tell you to look in a particular direction rather than the one you might have immediately landed on.

Some of the work in progress concepts of the Nuance tokens (also called chits or Nuances).

Concept Art


The octagonal shape of the coins naturally creates square and triangular gaps that the Nuance tokens fill, allowing you to draw some additional insight from the space in between. The two directions we're exploring with them right now is to have them be

a) thematic, with words or concepts like:
Opposition
Strong / Greater influence
Weak / Lesser influence
Time
Caution
Transformation
Depth
Conflict
Bonds
Hope / Courage / Steadfastness


Or b) to have them be more astrological in nature and look for governing influences that way.
Astrological Influences



We've been working on the concept for awhile, and would happily hear input on how you might consider using them. They are not mandatory for your readings, but make a nice addition through including a touch of Nuance to your draws. Congratulations to everyone for unlocking them as an Add-On, and the Full Bundles will include them naturally as well now! Thank you to everyone for hitting such a neat new stretch goal, and for supporting the project!

Reminder to share and repost the campaign far and wide - we've still got some awesome stretch goals ahead to unlock, and we can only get the word out there with your help!

Over the past few years, I've searched online for tarot coins (or tarot tiles) to use in my readings and add to my collection. There were some options out there, but nothing that ever really spoke to me or seemed "right." I found some coins, usually round in shape, but often with simple symbols on them representing the major and minor arcana, literally like a number 3 and a picture of a sword, or a knight helmet next to a wand. Plain, flat backs made them cheap looking, like metal slugs. Another set featured better images but the round coins were "blah" looking and very expensive, with all the add-ons being pricey too. There was a set that was copper in a rectangular shape, but again the images were interpretations of the tarot images, not true to the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) artwork that I prefer. Tarot tiles were another option I considered. Some were made by applying miniature pictures of RWS cards onto wooden tiles and sealed with lacquer or resin. Others were made in a similar way but using plastic dominoes or mahjong tiles. Also very expensive. That's why I backed this Geekify project so quickly. I could immediately see all the thought and attention that went into designing this set and all the add-ons. Mainly the shape - perfect in the way the coins can fit next to each other, forming any number of interesting spreads! The details in the design make them so rich looking. Considering the quality and intricacies, the cost is very reasonable and a great investment. I'm seriously considering upgrading to the full bundle since this set is damn near perfect! Thank you, Geekify!
