Community

Don'tjustbuyBLACKCAT.Helpbuildit.

Most brands ship a product and then ask for reviews. We'd rather ask first. The community model below is how BLACK CAT intends to make decisions — what gets built, in what colour, at what price, and in what order.

How it works
PLANNED

BLACK CAT Test Crew

Selected Australian players, collectors, sellers and stores receive prototypes and report back honestly on shuffle feel, durability, protection, fit, materials, packaging and value.

PLANNED

Product voting

Which categories get built first, and which variants make the cut. If the community wants small-size sleeves before playmats, that's the order we build in.

PLANNED

Colour voting

Core colourways decided by vote, plus limited releases the community picks. No more waiting years for the one colour everyone actually wants.

IDEA

Creator collabs

Australian artists and creators on playmats, sleeves and limited drops — paid properly and credited clearly.

PLANNED

Store feedback

Local game stores tell us what actually sells, what packaging works on a shelf, and what price points move.

COMING LATER

Events

Local Perth events first — prize support, prototype tables and letting people handle gear before it exists publicly.

PLANNED

Founding community

The group that joins before launch. Permanent recognition, early access, and a real say in the direction of the brand.

Wired to the database and ready to go live — they'll show real figures once the Founding Crew opens properly.

Voting properly opens with the Founding Crew, but there's no reason to wait for the first question.
