I personally placed my very first order with PCD around April 2018, which coincided with their first anniversary event, which ran for almost a week. But I do feel a strong sense of loyalty and appreciation to Will Roya, and I am a satisfied repeat customer. In the end, I'm just a passionate playing card enthusiast like so many of my readers. Occasionally I even purchase playing cards elsewhere. Now I am not officially part of PlayingCardDecks, and I also publish what I write on other playing card platforms. I was happy to agree, and I've been doing that for the last four years, writing about playing cards, card magic, card games, and other playing card related subjects, whenever time permits me to do so. One thing led to another, and he offered to post some of my articles over on his blog. I did a couple of write-ups to help spread the word about his early Kickstarter projects. I was already writing about playing cards - purely as a hobby and as a labour of love, and because I like helping out creators and sharing helpful information with other collectors and enthusiasts. I first got in contact with Will in late 2017, when we started corresponding about some of the first Kickstarter projects that he was working on at the time. So if there's any content that upsets you, I'll take the blame for that, not Will. And Will has more than enough to keep himself busy running a business without complicating things by writing articles too. But 'EndersGame' is just the online handle I've used ever since I started writing game reviews over a decade ago.

When people see Will posting blog articles on his site, they sometimes incorrectly assume that he is the EndersGame who writes the articles. But I'm not him, and can't take any credit for what he has achieved. That's stating the obvious, perhaps, but there are some people who think that I'm him.

I'm just some guy out there on the internet that loves playing cards, and loves writing about them. Let me get one thing straight: I am not Will Roya. This article is intended as a celebration of sorts, about why PlayingCardDecks (or PCD for short) continues to be my favourite playing card retailer, and about the many things it has brought to us over the last five years.

The site is run by Will Roya, who left a career as a professional magician in order to dedicate himself to going into business as an online playing card retailer. The official date is 20 April 2022, which marks the exact day five years ago when the very first sale was completed back in 2017. On the sides there's some Latin text, including the word Libertas, meaning 'freedom'.So is celebrating its fifth anniversary. On this inky black canvas there's some ornate borders, and of course the name being the focal point with elegant lettering: Freedom Playing Cards. The Freedom Deck makes an immediate impression with a very classy looking tuck box, with a deep black being the prominent colour. This is one of my favourite decks that PCD has been involved with. In this section I'll cover two newer decks that have hit the market, that were co-produced with. Examples include the Alice in Wonderland deck and the Runic Royalty deck which I have previously reviewed here. In some instances this involvement has been a matter of giving financial backing to a project, in other instances it has been taking care of the fulfilment. Besides the above mentioned titles, has also collaborated in the production of several other decks of playing cards.
