In our Project by Numbers series, we've looked at pledge and backer numbers for two popular playing card projects, Federal 52 Part II by Kings Wild Project and Requiem by Lorenzo Gaggiotti. We also know that the popular crowd-funding platform is a global phenomenon with over 3 million backers coming from 214 countries and territories.
With this phenomenal growth and huge audience, it is no surprise that more artists and designers from around the world are using this platform to produce their own deck of playing cards. For example with the two projects mentioned above, Kings Wild is based in Memphis, Tennessee while Lorenzo is in Stockholm, Sweden. The question is, where do all playing card projects come from?
