The Iron Horse Playing Cards

Created by Jody Eklund

This hand-drawn deck captures the spirit of the dastardly dudes, daring damsels and the robbery that brought them all together. The Iron Horse premium playing cards has some of the most intricate details I've ever designed. This is a fully custom Illustrated deck of playing cards that has been painstakingly scrutinized on every level. One of the most notable features of this project is that this deck is inspired by a short story written by my good friend Ricky Cassford. His ability to creatively tell an epic story is truly awe-inspiring.

NOW FUNDING! Golden Spike The 150th Anniversary Edition
over 5 years ago – Mon, Nov 12, 2018 at 09:27:31 PM

 Hey all you train lovers!

The 1st Transcontinental Railroad was a monumental achievement in US history. It was the first rail line that connected the east to the west and revolutionized transportation and commerce in a post Civil War United States. 

At the beginning of this year, I was reminded that the 150th Anniversary of the completion of the 1st Transcontinental Railroad is coming up. May 10th 2019 to be exact. I thought it would be fun to make a limited special edition deck to celebrate the occasion. This is a completely redrawn and redesigned deck of the original Golden Spike Kickstarter project done in the summer of 2014. Check it out!

Hey everyone!

About 95% of you have received your package as of today. Thank you all for letting me know how you like your rewards in the comments area. You don't know how great it is to hear from you all. Thank you!

One last thing before I let you go for the Iron Horse. Please take a look at my newest project Devastation The Silver Edition now funding on Kickstarter. It's a new edition to the Devastation series I funded 2 years ago. It is also a Kickstarter exclusive, the amount printed will be a minimum of 1000 decks or the amount it will take to satisfy the fulfillment of the project. I am doing something new this time around, hand-signing and numbering a unique sleeve for each deck. The numbers will be based on the backer number, which I have never done before.

Please take a look and consider backing another one of my projects. There are still some Early Birds available. You can find the links below. Thank you all for you support.

All Rewards have been shipped! New PDF Download

Hey everyone!

I know many of you have received your Iron Horse rewards and there are still many of you who still have not received them (me included :) Just so you all know, everything has been shipped. Please continue to let me know what you all think and thank you to those who have been so kind to give me your comments.

Character Backstories?

Oops...I forgot to include the Character Backstories in with the regular story on your last download. I am currently getting everything checked for any possible errors and should have a new download, with the backstories, to you all by the end of the week, if not sooner. 

Also, for the next download I am going to send it as a PDF and not an e-book reader. I apologize for many of you who could not open the ebook file. This was my first try at this, so thanks ahead of time for giving me some grace. If there are some of you who still would like it as an ebook reader, please message me after I send out the link for the new download and I will send you a different link.

Thanks and happy trails!

Jody
