Update #4: Stretch Goal #4 Unlocked – The Dealer Coin Rises
5 months ago – Tue, Feb 24, 2026 at 07:32:21 AM

You’ve done it again.

Stretch Goal #4 Has Officially Been Unlocked

The tide keeps rising—and now the Blood & Brine Dealer Coin is available to add to your pledge.

This isn’t a lightweight trinket. It’s a substantial, antique-finished metal coin featuring a sculpted pirate skull beneath a weathered tricorn on one side, and a kraken crushing its prey around a ship’s wheel on the other. Deep engraving. Bold relief. A piece that feels salvaged from the wreckage of The Widow’s Wake itself.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect collectible to complete your set—this is it.

New Add-Ons Now Available

Widow’s Wake – Classic Uncut Tuck 

Own the full flat artwork before it’s folded and formed—a rare display piece for serious collectors.

Widow’s Wake – Classic Uncut Sheet  

The entire deck laid out in one stunning spread. Pure illustration. Pure detail. I will update the page once I have the face layout.

Blood & Brine T-Shirt  

Wear the legend. Dark, bold, and built for those who sail with the cursed fleet.

New Reward Tier: Leviathan’s Loot

A brand-new reward tier has surfaced—Leviathan’s Loot—crafted for backers who want a heavier haul of treasure at a powerful value.

And here’s the important part:

The Early Bird pricing for Leviathan’s Loot ends tomorrow at 12:00 noon (EST)

When the clock strikes noon, that special pricing vanishes beneath the waves. If you’ve been considering upgrading your pledge, now is the moment. Don’t let the tide roll out without you.

We’re building something bigger with every stretch goal. More detailed. More collectible. More legendary.

The sea rewards the bold.

Update #3: Blood & Brine Is Now a Project We Love
5 months ago – Tue, Feb 17, 2026 at 06:44:57 AM

We’ve got big news.

Project We Love

Blood & Brine has officially been selected as a “Project We Love” by Kickstarter.

Here’s the message we received: “Congratulations! We’ve selected Blood and Brine Playing Cards as a ‘Project We Love,’ which is our way of highlighting brilliant examples of creativity. You’ll see a badge under your main image or project video, and we’ll feature your campaign across Kickstarter.”

Now let’s talk about what’s next.

Unlock The Next Stretch Goal: Blood & Brine Dealer Coin

Our upcoming stretch goal unlocks the Blood & Brine Dealer Coin.

The Dealer Coin is a fully custom, antique-finished metal coin featuring a sculpted pirate skull beneath a weathered tricorn hat on one side, and a kraken wrapping its crushing tentacles around a ship’s wheel on the other. The outer ring is engraved with Blood and Brine Playing Cards and the warning that defines this world: The Sea Takes All.

It’s weighty. Detailed. Designed to feel like it was pulled straight from a cursed captain’s pocket.

When we reach $30,000 in funding, this coin becomes available—and it will complete the set in a way that feels undeniably final.

Momentum is building. Kickstarter is shining a spotlight on us. The tide is rising. Let’s unlock the Dealer Coin and keep this fleet charging forward.

The sea may take all… but right now, we’re taking ground.

5 months ago – Fri, Feb 13, 2026 at 06:56:41 AM

Hey Blood and Brine Crew! You did it again!

Stretch Goal #3 has officially been unlocked.

Because of your momentum, the Blood & Brine Booster Pack is now available—and we’ve opened up newly discounted reward tiers to make upgrading (or jumping in) even more tempting.

The Booster Pack is designed to expand the world of Blood & Brine—perfect for collectors who love the extras, the details, and the pieces that make a project feel complete. If you’re building the full cursed fleet, this is a must-add. The booster pack will include the Widow's Wake Story, Illustrations and Character Backstory.

And the discounted tiers? That’s your window.

If you’ve been watching from the shoreline, this is the best time to board. If you’re already part of the crew, consider upgrading while these prices are live.

Every stretch goal we unlock makes this project stronger. More refined. More legendary.

All this comes available at 12:00 Noon EST (Today). 2.13.2026

We’re not drifting—we’re charging forward.

Let’s see what we can awaken next.

Update #1: We are Funded! Thank You All!
5 months ago – Wed, Feb 11, 2026 at 11:23:47 AM

WE DID IT!

Blood & Brine has officially been brought to life—and it’s because of you.

What began as a dark whisper on the horizon is now a fully funded reality. In just a short time, this crew rallied, pledged, and pushed this project past the line. Watching it surge forward has been nothing short of incredible.

And we’re not stopping there. 

You’ve Already Unlocked The First Stretch Goal:

⚓ Interior Foil Printing inside the Gilded Edition tuck box.

That means when collectors open the Gilded deck, they won’t just see brilliance on the outside—the inside will gleam with hidden foil detailing, elevating it into something truly cursed and collectible. It’s the kind of detail that turns a deck into treasure.

...and the Second Stretch Goal:

⚓ Blood and Brine Trading Pin

A mark of allegiance to the damned. This premium 1.5” x 1.5” collectible trading pin features the haunting emblem of the cursed captain—etched in rich detail and forged in a gold-toned metal finish that feels like treasure pulled straight from the deep. From the weathered tricorn hat to the skeletal grin beneath, every line is sculpted to capture the dark legend of Blood & Brine.

You can now add this on to your current pledge, so don't miss these!

Stay tuned, I will be revealing the next Stretch Goal by the end of the day today. Wednesday, February 11, 2026

This is only the beginning.

More stretch goals wait beneath the surface, and if this launch has proven anything, it’s that this crew is relentless.

Thank you for believing in Blood & Brine. Thank you for backing it early. Thank you for helping raise the cursed fleet.

Now let’s see how far we can sail.
