Well, I just received Das Spiel der Hofnung -The Game of Hope Lenormand, the First Lenormand and the Purple Dragon Lenormand deck from Tag_jorrit and they are stunning.
I never bought the first deck published by TP at Gamecrafters because of the problems and never bought the reissue directly from TP because of the ridiculous price and because the backs were so plain.
These beautiful decks from Tag_jorrit are stunning and the backs on both decks will take your breath away. The cardstock for the Game of Hope is sturdy and easy to shuffle. The colors are rich and lovely to behold. They have an aged appearance but not overly aged like some decks. The card images are very bright and clear. Slim borders around the Game of Hope deck and perfectly centered on each card. I couldn't imagine a better production and what a value!!!
I may go back and buy a few more, that's how much I love them!
Oh, and the velvet bag is quite luxurious and soft, soft soft -the color of the bag for the larger deck a rosey dark mauve velvet fabric, the Purple Dragon mini deck is a burgundy satin fabric. Just beautiful and perfectly suited to each deck. Her attention to detail is astounding in every respect. I highly recommend!!
These are keepers!!!!
