Tomas Leszczynski<\/strong> is a graphic designer<\/strong> with a long experience<\/strong> in corporate branding and marketing products and web designs. He has founded Matifu<\/a><\/strong>, a brand to bring educational games<\/strong> to the market. Matifu (“sand” in Swahili) is a tribute to crowdfunding and the way many single persons can change the world.<\/p>\n

After launching the project Rongorongo a couple times, they have finally found the formula for success:\u00a0RongoRongo Playing Cards<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rongorongo is a system of glyphs<\/strong> used in the Easter Island<\/strong> to record their events: a written code that still remains as a mystery<\/strong> for modern decoders. The designs of these cards have been inspired by the scribes of Easter Island that used Rongorongo and by the Polynesian tribal masks<\/strong>.\u00a0This is also a way to pay tribute to the Rapa Nui<\/strong> community that have fought for centuries to defend their rights on Easter Island.<\/p>\n

Tomas has designed three different decks: Black, Gilded and Gold Editions<\/strong>. All three decks share the same designs with amazing color combinations. The details<\/strong>, the use of gold metallic ink<\/strong>, black and red and the tribal inspiration<\/strong> make these decks something nice and unique<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The strategy of the campaign is to promote a deck and gradually adding the rest as stretch goals. Furthermore, Besides the above, Bicycle<\/strong> branded, there will be an unbranded edition called Moai Gold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Finally, some decks of these cards will be treated as collector items<\/strong> adding an hologram seal and certificate<\/strong>. These decks are being offered to backers as add-ons through a form system fill request.<\/p>\n

All the cards will be printed by the USPCC<\/strong>, that in this case has authorized runs of 1,000 decks, which will help the production of all or most of the cards in the project.<\/p>\n

The decks will be stunning<\/strong>. If you like the designs, you can visit the project website<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and raise your pledge.<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/strong><\/p>\n
