What is the difference between the Linen Edition and the Pocket Tin? Do they come with physical guidebooks?
These two decks are very different! Both are smaller than the original First Edition cards, however their cardstock and size are different. The Pocket Edition is smaller in size than the Linen Edition (please see the listing for exact dimensions), it is a 300gsm matte finish, similar to the First Edition, with matte gold gilding. It comes in a custom-made tin box with a sliding lid and a surprise sticker sheet inside.
The Linen Edition is 300gsm thickness with a linen finish, which makes it feel even thinner than the Pocket Edition. The size is shorter than the original so it makes for easier riffle shuffling. The Linen Edition comes in a sturdy tuck box, no gilding on the cards, no sticker sheet inside.
Neither of these decks comes with physical guidebook. They have pdf guidebooks, which are a slightly condensed version of the original.
The Linen Edition deck is shipping as soon as mid-February. The Pocket Deck is scheduled to start shipping in April.

What is the difference between the First Edition and the Second Edition that will be printed in 2024?
The First Edition does not include a gender-neutral or nature-based Lovers card. The Second Edition will come with all three versions, the original and the two mentioned above. The Second Edition will also have art updates to many of the cards and there will be new borders (and maybe also a limited borderless version also available, depending on how well the Kickstarter goes). The box and card-back art will also be updated and new. There may be a difference in card stock finish in the Second Edition. Both box sets come with a small physical guidebook. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

How sustainable are the shipping methods used in this shop?
We strive to use upcycled packing materials as much as possible as well as avoid the use of plastic. Our mailer bags used for shipping our in-house hoodies and totes are actually compostable!
Made-to-order items are shipped in polybags that are made of at least 50% recycled material for outer packaging and at least 30% for inner bags (which are only used for multi-item shipments).
All other in-house packaging is purchased from Eco-Enclose to ensure 100% recycled content for the most earth-friendly shipping experience we could find.
My current fulfillment center uses cardboard boxes and paper filling instead of single-use plastic.
