WELCOME TO THE GAME
UNBREAKABLE UKRAÏNA: An Inspiring Card Deck Highlights Ukraine‘s War Heroes. It has been exactly one year since the Russian war machine perpetrated a full-scale invasion of and intensified its unprovoked genocidal attacks against its peaceful neighbor, Ukraine. Throughout the said year, the Ukrainian military and volunteer forces have been fighting enemy hordes in an unequal war; while supported by the Ukrainian people, both focused on one historical goal: defending their country, their culture, and their people. Within a short period, a country consisting of multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, politically, religiously, and otherwise diverse elements formed an alloy of unprecedented strength: a united civil society able to withstand the onslaught of its evil enemy without trembling or backing down.
Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, Tatars, Jews, and others merged into an unbreakable Ukraïna!
A ruthless enemy can kill a sleeping, innocent child or an older adult, a rocket can destroy a residential building, hospital, or shopping center, and it can wipe entire cities off the face of the earth. Still, it cannot break the iron will and aspiration of the Ukrainian nation toward self-determination. This Ukraine is invincible; only psychopathic criminals and naive people misled by Russian propaganda do not understand this. Ukraine's epic struggle for freedom symbolizes the mortal battle between good and evil, peace and war, life and prosperity on the one hand, and death, oppression, and injustice on the other. It is a war ruthlessly pushing the past into historical oblivion, leading to a future in which democracy, justice, and a balance of interests will create conditions for universal good.
However, Ukraine is disadvantaged in several ways against an aggressor with superior military power, making its defense extremely difficult. At the same time, governments of other nations need to be faster in assisting. Civil society, from NGOs to individual initiatives, has stepped in to fill an ever-increasing need for everything, from medicines to drones, by mobilizing tens of thousands of donors and collecting millions in funds and in-kind donations. Artists are one of the largest sources of such support. Evocative, on-point, and timely artistic initiatives provide additional bullets directed at the enemy in this information war, each saving, feeding, and warming another wounded child.
The UNBREAKABLE UKRAÏNA playing card project is dedicated to all those who support the Ukrainian struggle for freedom. It is a historical record of this struggle, which will remain for years after Ukraine’s victory has passed, memorializing those responsible for forging it. All those fighting for Ukraine are symbols of this war for independence, they are the legends that create today’s heroic mythology, and they are represented in the heroes depicted on the face cards of the UNBREAKABLE UKRAÏNA deck.
We are all observers of this creation of mythology, but the project UNBREAKABLE UKRAÏNA allows each one of us to become active participants! Everyone purchasing the UNBREAKABLE UKRAÏNA card deck will support Ukraine because all profits collected by the project will be dedicated to the fight for Ukraine’s self-determination and independence! Funds for the printing and distributing the decks will be raised through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter at the beginning of May. The decks will then be sold on our website and through other channels, with the profits going to Ukraine, as Kickstarter does not allow donation funding on its platform. Please support our project and Ukraine!
COUNTDOWN TO THE KICKSTARTER LAUNCH:
Project UNBREAKABLE UKRAÏNA working process
The project work process involves multiple stages, each with goals, challenges, and outcomes. By following a structured approach with the management of this project, the team can achieve the project's objectives efficiently, effectively, and most importantly, successfully.
Art and Idea Development: This is the project's initial phase, during which the idea for the project is conceptualized and developed. This stage involves brainstorming, research, and planning to create a compelling vision for the project. During this phase, the team involved in the project works on the artistic and creative components.
Prelaunch of the Marketing Campaign: Before launching the Kickstarter campaign, the team will work on a marketing campaign to promote the project and generate interest. This phase will involve creating a teaser trailer, building a landing page, and utilizing social media platforms to reach a broader audience.
Launching the Kickstarter Campaign - Day One: This day is the most important for the entire project. This is the day the project goes live on Kickstarter, and people can start backing it. The team will focus on driving traffic to the Kickstarter page to maximize the chances of achieving the project goal.
Kickstarter Campaign: During the Kickstarter campaign, the team would focus on promoting the project, communicating with backers, and updating the backers on the project's progress. The Kickstarter campaign will likely last 30 days, during which we need to activate the full potential of interest in the project and convert it into the maximum number of backers.
Production: Once the Kickstarter campaign is successful, the team will start working on producing the project. This phase will involve working with manufacturers, printing companies, and other vendors to create the final product. During this phase, all technical drawings and images for printing will be finalized; the final layout of the project will be achieved, and all details and corrections that appeared during the Kickstarter campaign will be clarified.
Fulfillment: After the project is produced, the team will start fulfilling the orders and distributing the product to backers. This phase will involve packing and shipping the product, coordinating with logistics providers, and handling customer service inquiries. Thanks to the professionalism and experience of our partners, we will ensure sucessful order fulfilmennt, within the shortest period of time, and at the lowest possible cost, without sacrificing on quality.
Donations Reach Ukraine: This phase refers to the stage when the contributions made from profits collected during the Kickstarter campaign, thanks to our partners Blue/Yellow (USA (501(c)3)), will reach the most sensitive areas of Ukraine that need urgent help. Our partners will ensure the a fully transparent and fast process for tracking donations and processing donation receipts.
Ukraine's Victory: This represents the final goal of the project and the result of the actions of all allies of Ukraine. In this case, it refers to the victory of Ukraine in the war, which is the project's theme. Ukraine's victory will not only mean the end of the suffering of many people, but also the independence and defense of the Ukrainian nation within its recognized borders. This final phase celebrates the project's success and achievement of its objectives.
