I was thinking about this. I think it's unethical to make a "NEW" card, after all the other decks have been sealed and sold without them. With absolutely no mention of said "special" card, until now. Feels like you're pumping you sales. This is going to set a trend, any artist who makes something, can render something "special" after sales have already been completed....wrong on so many levels. Not being very responsible to your clients who already spent bitcoins with you, and now, have gotten the shaft. I just checked your original posting...nope, nothing about a "special" card after selling sealed box's......
The Story
For a few years now, I have been collecting (poker) card decks. I love the variety of artworks and ideas put into these projects. It has always been on the back of my mind to someday create my own card game.
A few months ago I finally started this project. As of today it is about 60% done.
Yesterday my first preview cards arrived, so I decided to go public with this project.
Idea
Simply having a game and nice collectible item, making for a great gift to get people more interested in different cryptocurrencies.
Basic education + fun for crypto veterans + subjective statements that hopefully make you (or your friends, relatives, neighbors etc.) want to investigate, discuss, research, create things.
You could probably call this an edutainment product, even though I am not a big fan of that word. Cheesy

A) Added discounts for multi-purchases of 6 decks or more, up to 16% off (25 or more decks)
B) Added detailed shipping price info (could be subject to slight changes, depending on the wight of the decks, I am calculating with a weight of max. 240 g / deck right now)
- 2018-11-19:
A) finished the front design of the box, I am pretty happy with the result
B) confirmed engraving AND gold (or silber, will evaluate what may look better soon) lining on the box!
C) renaming to CRYPTO COSMOS confirmed | two reasons: 1. Crypto mind is used for several website and social media, crypto cosmos isn not. 2. It represents the game and the graphic theme pretty well.
D) funding now open, will sent out payment requests soon. Make sure to only use address in OP. Also accepting some altcoins, get in touch if interested.
E) ordered two new preview-decks to evaluate: 1. box design, 2. look of the overhauled cards + look of the new cards, 3. check which version of graphics look best when printed: 1200 DPI (it's the original quality all my project files have), 600 DPI, 300 DPI and 300 DPI with additional sharpening, 4. check if linen cards or heavy-special paper cards look+feel better
